[cups.general] PageRegion not set (PPD from Xerox)

[Martin Schuster (IFKL IT OS DSM CD)]

Very strange problem, hope someone can give me a hint:

How to reproduce:
* Put attached hello.ps and printer.ppd into /tmp
* PPD=/tmp/printer.ppd /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 1 joe hello.ps 1 \
     'media=A3' /tmp/hello.ps > out.ps

Result:
No "PageRegion" in generated postscript. (see out_1.3.7.ps and
out_1.4.3.ps)

Expected result:
PageRegion should be present (see out_1.4b2.ps)


As you might have guessed from the filenames, CUPS 1.4b2 gives
the expected result, older (1.3.7) or newer (1.4.3) don't.

The PPD is taken from the Xerox website, fixed for errors reported
by cupstestppd.

The testfile hello.ps is just a simple example -- I can reproduce
the problem with more complex jobs.


Is this a problem with the PPD-file?

Any help appreciated, I'm trying to solve/work around this problem
for weeks now :(

tia,
