[STR New]

The fix for STR #2850 is incorrect.  The PDF file:
  http://cups.org/strfiles/2850/landscape.pdf
still prints incorrectly when the option 'orientation-requested=4' is
given, even when the patch http://cups.org/strfiles/2850/str2850.patch is
applied.

Representation of original PDF:

I have scanned in the printed output resulting from this command:
 lp -oorientation-requested=4 landscape.pdf

on two different printers:

1. Epson Stylus D78, using a foomatic driver for gutenprint-ijs
+------+
|  ABCD|
|  ABCD|

2. HP LaserJet 6MP, using the manufacturer's "HP LaserJet 6P/6MP -
PostScript" PPD

Printing the file using 'lp landscape.pdf' works correctly -- the problem
only occurs when the orientation-requested=4 option is given.
