So we should change all filters from

if (options contain PageSize, PageRegion, media, media-col) {
    Activate paper size setting for conversion
}

to

if (options contain fitplot, fit-to-page) {
    Activate paper size setting for conversion
}

Am I right? Should I change the OpenPrinting PDF filters that way and 
you will change the filters currently in CUPS that way?
