On Maverick I tried the following commands to resemble the filter chain: cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -p /etc/cups/ppd/hp.ppd -o PageSize=A4 printout-lp718201.pdf > out.ps sudo su lp -c '/usr/sbin/cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -p /etc/cups/ppd/hp.ppd -o PageSize=A4 printout-lp718201.pdf' > out.ps
The PPD file is of an HP PostScript color laser printer and in the second command line all filters run with the privileges of the "lp" system user (CUPS executes print jobs as this user). Both command lines produce a correct out.ps. I have checked by displaying via gs out.ps Please try the above commands on your Maverick box using the PPD file of your printer (in /etc/cups/ppd/). If the result shows the bug, try the following commands: cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p /etc/cups/ppd/hp.ppd -o PageSize=A4 printout-lp718201.pdf > out.pdf sudo su lp -c '/usr/sbin/cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p /etc/cups/ppd/hp.ppd -o PageSize=A4 printout-lp718201.pdf' > out.pdf and display the output file with evince out.pdf after each command.
