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).
