[cups.general] Problems printing PDF files through cups.

[Gerald Britton]

The good news is that your attachment made it through and didn't
crash.  The bad news is that the basic situation is really unchanged:

- I tried many permutations of orientation, pdf-paper (including
match) and fitplot.  All results are the same, the middle of the pdf
is printed about 1/2 scale at the top of the printable area - portrait
only.  I can't get landscape to work to save my life!

- Now, the printer always requests a manual page feed of 12x18 (the
original size). With the old pstops filter then new page size was
passed through and I got no prompt at the printer

- the new pstops runs a lot longer (2-3 times) than the old one.
