Some more information:

I found this in the error_log file of CUPS:

One question would be: who do I change LC_ALL. To me it seems like xpdf/pdftops ignores the settings on the server and simply takes some default values. Any idea of how to change this??

Thanks, Dekers

> When I print an A1 drawing the size is OK but the drawing is 90° rotated so I would have to cut access paper, which is actually not acceptable (I will have to cut about 300 sheets of paper by hand...)
