Problem with 'pdftops' filter

[Julien Bossert]

Hello,

When printing a PDF file the content of the page is shifted more or
less
18 mm to the top of the paper and 3 mm to the left.  Here is a sketch:

   +-----+     +-ABC-+
   |     |     | DEF |
   | ABC |     | GHI |
   | DEF |     |     |
   | GHI |     |     |
   |     |     |     |
   +-----+     +-----+

I obtain what appears on the right: the top part of the page is
missing
and there's a blank at the bottom of the paper.

I'm using CUPS 1.1.23 (Debian Sarge) on my Brother HL-5150D.

This happens with every kind of PDF files (produced by me with
different
softwares or downloaded from the web).  Moreover, when using Scribus
for
instance, if I export a PS file the printing is good, but if I export
a PDF one it fails.

Then I made a little test:

    mpage -1 -bA4 test >t1.ps    OK
    ps2pdf test-1.ps t2.pdf      Shifted
    pdftops t2.pdf t3.ps         Shifted
    pdf2ps t2.pdf t4.ps          OK

Tests with other PDF files show that 'pdf2ps' allows me to print those
files correctly.

Does it mean that the 'xpdf' based 'pdftops' CUPS filter behaves wrong
in my case?  Did anyone had the same problem?  How can I solve it?  Do
I have to replace the filter by a 'ghostscript' based one?

Thanks a lot,
Julien
