[cups.general] PDFs do not Print

[George Liu]

Can you let me know which is NOT the behavior you see on your system?

1. Print Postscript file to raw printing queue, it works
Lp -d Downstairs_Color -o raw myps.ps

2. Print Postscript file to the printer (not raw printing), it prints
correctly.
Lp -d Downstairs_Color myps.ps

3. Print PDF file to the printer (not raw printing), it prints
correctly.
Lp -d Downstairs_Color mypdf.pdf

4. When you print the PDF file from command line, it prints correctly. 
Lp -d Downstairs_Color mypdf.pdf
(From your previous email, I saw that the printer does not support PDF
raw printing)

5. When you print the PDF file from K Application, it gives you junk
output.

I know you probably have answered some/all of the above questions in
previous emails, just want to double check. (Assume you are using
Postscript PPD and print from the CUPS server machine)
