pdftopdf stopped being poppler based at version 1.0.22-1 in Aug 2012: * New upstream release - pdftopdf filter replaced by new QPDF-based filter from Tobias Hoffmann's Google Summer of Code project. The former Poppler-based pdftopdf duplicated a lot of Poppler's code. The old filter is still in the package as pdftopdf.old with source code in filter/pdftopdf.old. It will be removed in a later release. The filter no longer uses libpoppler but libqpdf. I was wary about approaching this bug because most of my printing is done from the command line. After looking at the outputs of printing from evince, iceweasel, okular and libreoffice on Jessie with the landscape option set (they do not produce the same output for me) I am even less inclined to print from a DE application and expect consistency. On the other hand a simple command like 'lp -d test -o landscape' with a PDF file doesn't do what it did on Wheezy. My final test (which I did had done before): Set up a print queue: lpadmin -p test -v file:/tmp/test.ps -E -m drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd Print to the queue. The image is shown rotated by 180 degrees with gv test.ps It is upside down. This is also how it prints on paper. May I point to https://github.com/smilingthax/pdfautorotate and suggest there may be some connection between the present state of affairs and the change introduced in cups-filters (1.0.25-1)? Anyway: lp -d test -o landscape -o pdfAutoRotate=off <file.pdf> gets me a printout rotated by 270 degrees.
