Just for fun, I edited one of my printer's PPD to include a specification of 
a "landscape oriented" media size (named A4transverse) - and whow! - when I 
selected this media sizein the print dialog, without specifying landscape 
orientation, everything is OK without quiks and whistles.

It is a bit tedious do do such modifications, as the respective 
modifications need to be done in the localization part(s) of the PPD as 
well, at least for the language the Mac OS X is configured to use.

With modifications like this, the alternate pdftops filter can be used with 
printjobs from Mac OS X.

P.S.: this meets my suspicion on the level 1 compativlity.
