thanks for the information. i was hoping i could implement this feature through the ppd file. i guess i might have to resort to manually flipping the raster from inside my custom filter.

by the way, i noticed that if you explicitly set the landscape option and the scaling option to 100% (lpr -o landscape -o scaling=100 <file>), cupsWidth and cupsHeight values (from the raster header) are both equal to the larger dimension (ie, 6000x6000 for a 10x3 image, instead of 6000x1800). this results in a "square" raster image much larger than my papersize. is this a bug or is this the designed behaviour? how should i handle this scenario?

many thanks again!
