FriedChicken, thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Dapper Desktop

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If
so, could you please execute

Usually the CUPS filter which converts PostScript into another format
(for most drivers pstoraster or foomatic-rip) is supposed to read out
the option settings embedded in the PostScript data stream. For the HP
Photosmart C6180 the foomatic-rip filter is used and therefore the
problem does not
Reassigning this bug to brother-cups-wrapper-common, not sure which
Brother package it really belongs on.

FriedChicken,
So does cupsys pass the postscript as generated by OpenOffice.org
directly to the printer? OpenOffice.org sends postscript as its print
format (will be changing to PDF soon) to cupsys which then converts the
postscript into whatever format that the print can understand so yes
cupsys
Till,
Feel free to weigh in on this discussion, I am be no means a printing
expert, but it seems cupsys should be processing these options?

I'm no printer expert, too, and weren't shure. But now I took a look into the
CUPS documentation:
filter - cups file conversion filter interface
Synopsis
filter job user title num-copies options [ filename ]
from: http://cups.org/documentation.php/man-lpadmin.html (or man filter)
So
Well even with the options passing as documented by cupsys to be used,
it would be at least a wishlist bug if not more for cupsys to also
properly parse options from postscript files sent to it, since it
otherwise processes the postscript file before actually sending it to
the printer.

FriedChicken,
As you yourself showed in the resulting postscript it set options that
should have been parsed by cupsys. Now maybe you could argue that
openoffice.org should also send those options directly to cupsys, but
cupsys should also know how to print proper postscript documents sent to
it.
No, cupsys has not to parse the PS file. PS printers should, but CUPS
filters (that are used by non-PS printers) don't necessarily need to. So
it's a OOo bug.

A workaround is it to use kprinter as pseudo-printer and set the options
in the kprinter dialog. That's not really satisfying but shows that this
is a bug in OOo and not CUPS.

@ Chris Cheney
Are you really sure this is a problem of cupsys? I'm not ...
There should be no need for a cups filter to look into the PS file. And every
application else than OOo handles this right by passing the correct options.
