[cups.general] CUPS, landscape, and zebra.ppd on linux

[Charles Bryant]

Hi,

We're using Oracle's linux 5, PASTA, and CUPS to print PDFs. We have pdftops 
being called by PASTA to convert the PDF to a Postscript file prior to 
shipping the file to CUPS.

The conversion is working fine, with one exception, the documents are 
formatted for landscape printing, but the zebra printer refuses to print 
anything by portrait. After we've adjusted the zebra.ppd file, we always make 
sure to bounce CUPS.

We've tried copying the format line to swap the dimensions of the printable 
area, but that didn't correct the issue. We have been able to do landscape 
printing with some changes, but what comes out ends up being offset to the 
center of the landscaped page.

So, I have two questions that might be solved with one answer; 1) Has anyone 
configured the zebra.ppd for doing landscape printing on 4 x 6 labels with 0 
margins? or 2) What do I changed the ppd to make sure the top and left margins 
are set at 0 for an offset when printing in landscape?

Any assistance would be really appreciated.
