Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-12 Severity: important When printing PDF files with transparent object, the transparency is broken due to the pdftops conversion in the cups printing process.
To add some detail, I am printing from a Mac OS X client to a Debian Cups-server via the automatic printer detection. The PDF File seems to be passed to the cups-server, which converts the PDF-file to PS by utilizing xdpf-utils's pdftops. Although, xdpf is able to process transparency since version 3.01 and does display the pdf file correctly, pdftops fails. I wasn't quite sure to where to report this bug (xpf-utils?). But, I decided to send it to cupsys because the error affects my cups printserver. By the way, pdf2ps and acroread -toPostScript process correct PS-files retaining the transparency.
