Public bug reported:
We have a custom cups backend ("thinlocal") that looks at
FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE to find out whether the submitted job is
application/pdf and if so, take special actions. The PPD for this
backend accepts PDF:s directly through this line:
*cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 -"
However, FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE is always set to printer/thinlocal, so the
backend can't possibly determine the input format by looking at the
FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE.
This is broken with (at least):
- Ubuntu 14.04 (cups 1.7.2),
- Ubuntu 14.10 (cups 1.7.5)
- Ubuntu 15.04 (cups 2.0.2).
