[cups.general] n-up printing with cups

[Mario Lipinski]

Hello,

After having had a look at the pstops code and realizing that this
should work i resignated and tried to print from a windows machine -
same problems. So i just printed a textdocument with some enumerated
pages and realised that this worked...
After some time i knew what was wrong: Adobe Acrobat rotated the page to
fit on the portrait media and so the things went wrong when placing more
than one page on one sheet.
lp must have done the same with the pdf...

Thx for your help and i apologize for wasting up your valuable time.
