Package: poppler-utils
Version: 0.12.4-1.2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/pdftops
Tags: sid
A landscape PDF was produced and then printed with lpr. The print was incorect
because it was not rotated. I'm using magicfilter on my system for printing
(this is not relevant though) and my printer filter calls pdftops and then
the PostScript file is passed to ghostscript for printing.
If I add the paper parameter to pdftops like this
"0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/pdftops -paper A4 $FILE -"
then the printing is correct and the created PS file is properly marked/rotated
This bug also affects printing from xpdf but there is no workaround for xpdf
because xpdf uses common libraries with pdftops and when it sends the file
to the printer it is already converted to PS and setting the psPaperSize to A4
in /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc has no effect.
This bug appeared in the last 3-4 months, before that both pdftops and xpdf
were printing properly.
