imagetoraster cuts height in half (CUPS 1.1.18)

I am trying to print an image (GIF or PNG) to a CUPS printer. The image
is 300 pixels by 420 pixels at 200 dpi.
My PPD for my printer specifies a page size of 312x425 points (it's a
small printer) and an imageable area of 294x413 points. At 200dpi, that
should give me about 830 dots x 1166 dots.
When I send my image through cups, it goes through the imagetoraster
filter, it cuts the height in half. cupsWidth=828 which is acceptable,
but cupsHeight=573, which is approximately half of the 1166 dots that I
should have.
Here is the log (at debug level):
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] Before scaling: xppi=198,
yppi=198, zoom=0.00
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] Before scaling: xprint=4.1,
yprint=5.7
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] Image size is 1.5 x 2.1 inches...
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] Auto orientation...
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] xpages = 1, ypages = 1
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] PageSize = [312 425]
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] cupsWidth = 828
D [20/Jan/2005:16:18:11 +0000] [Job 3] cupsHeight = 573
the command used to print was simply "lpr image.png". No options were
specified, and no options are saved (with lpoptions).
xppi=198 and yppi=198 are roughly correct - imagetoraster derived them
from the PNG file.
xprint=4.1, yprint=5.7 seem to represent the size of the page in inches?
the image size is approximately 1.5 x 2.1 inches
The PageSize is correct - 312 x 425 points
cupsWidth is correct - 828 dots
cupsHeight is incorrect - 2 * 573 = 1146 dots which would be close to
what I expect.
The output I get is the image printing on the top half of the page only,
and "squished". The printed image is wider than it is tall, but the
entire image is scaled to fit.
The printed output dimensions are about 2 3/8" wide x 1 5/8" tall, which
is almost the reverse dimensions of what the image should be - 1.5 x 2.1
inches.
If I print the image to a PDF file using Acrobat, and then submit that
PDF to CUPS, the image prints properly.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
