Hi Manolo,

thanks for adding landscape support.

I also saw that you changed the PS level back to 2 and tried this with
the cups-PDF printer (and my two different laser printer configs).

My observations (but you will probably know this already):

  - landscape layout works
  - cups-PDF now renders the images, but ...
  - image transparency is gone :-(

My first laser printer config (as some Apple PS printer) now renders the
PS files correctly (except missing transparency). It did not with
PostScript 3, although the alternate configuration I described before
(i.e., as Mike explained, via Ghostscript -> Gutenprint -> PCL) worked
with PS 3.

Thus, I think we can confirm what Mike wrote: Problems with PS 3 with
existing printers (including cups-PDF), but (currently ?) missing
transparency with PS level 2. :-(

I don't know how we can solve this.  Should we make the PS level a user
configurable (printer related) option ?

P.S.: to verify my observations, I changed lang_level_ to 3 again and
tested with PS file and direct printing (selected landscape).

  - PS file: worked, but portrait layout (contents at page bottom)
  - cups-PDF: no images, but same layout (portrait, at page bottom)
  - PS on Kyocera: didn't print (as before with PS 3)
  - Gutenprint on Kyocera: worked, but same layout as above

strange ...

Albrecht
