[cups.general] filter options effect banner too

[Alex Finch]

Helge,


It seemed like I should just be able to put this code in my existing banner:

% If the media is landscape (width greater than height),
% modify the coordinate system accordingly
%
currentpagedevice/PageSize get aload pop 2 copy
  lt
	{
		exch pop 0 exch translate
		-90 rotate

	}
	{pop pop}ifelse

  but it didn't work, so I will try to compile the new pstops, it wants common.h 
- what/where is that
