When i send this file by 
lpr -P<printername> scan7232.pdf
It prints landscape rotated to A4 portrait, and therefore is cut off.
This does not happen with cups 1.2.7 (debian etch) only after installing
version 1.3.8. pstops does not give any error in the log. I printed on a
Xerox WC 7232 machine. Same result can be seen when i open this file with
Kghostview or when i print the file directly with kprinter (KDE). That
could lead to the assumption that the file has a bug, but i can't see any
bug in the file (ok, i am not a pdf/ps expert...) You may be able to check
if this is an error in cups or in the file? At least it is clearly related
to the change to 1.3.8. This is why i think it is a bug in cups.
