The standard CUPS pdftops uses the Xpdf code base, but does NOT use
the same sizing algorithm as the Xpdf pdftops program.  To make things
more confusing, several Linux distributors are shipping a perl script
in place of the CUPS pdftops which does not support the standard CUPS
options and does not handle media sizes properly.

So my guess would be that you aren't getting the CUPS pdftops filter,
but the Linux distributor's replacement which is broken.
