Package: cupsys Version: 1.3.5-1 Severity: normal Hello,
Several times when I have wanted to print some subset of the pages of a document, with "-o page-ranges"; but also 2-up to save paper, with "-o number-up=2", I have found that cups does exactly the wrong thing. Rather than selecting the subset of the pages which I want to print, and then printing them 2-up, it seems to format the entire document 2-up, forming half as many pages, and then it uses the new page numbers of the 2-up pages to find the range I requested. Thus, lp -o page-ranges=71-133 foo.pdf prints pages 71-133 of foo.pdf, but lp -o number-up=2 -o page-ranges=71-133 foo.pdf prints pages 142-266 of foo.pdf. I think it would be good if the "-o page-ranges" were fixed so that it always referred to the pages of the *input* document, rather than to the pages of some intermediate filtering step which the user never sees.
