Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The pdftops backend in debians cups does not honour the page size of the PDF
that is printed.
This results eg. in label printers printing unusable (empty or strangely
formatted) labels and similar effects on other printers that use
non-standard page sizes.
Cure: per default install a /etc/cups/pdftops.conf file that contains
exactly this line:
psPaperSize match

Dear Debian User,
This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than desirable, so the report is now being
closed.
You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions. If considered necessary, a new bug
report, possibly referencing this one, would be submitted. Please note
there are now separate cups and cups-filters packages.
Thank you for your report.
Regards,
Brian.
