Thank you, so your script is for the XPDF edition of pdftops and not for
the Poppler edition? Ubuntu Hardy ships the Poppler edition by default.
I have now installed the XPDF edition by doing
sudo apt-get install xpdf-utils
and accepting the removal of poppler-utils. Now CUPS prints PDFs without
problems.
Helge, do you know the exact differences between the Poppler and the
XPDF editions of pdftops and the other PDF filters? Are there any
disadvantages to make the xpdf-utils the default in Ubuntu?
