[STR New]

When printing a pdf file using lp -o media=legal, the pdf prints on letter.
The pdftops filter is using the default media as specified by the ppd file
and ignoring the lp option.

The 1.4.x pdftops filter calls the function ppdPageSize with the
parameters ppd (which is a handle to the PPD file) and NULL (which means
that no media name is provided) Thus, only the PPD defaults are evaluated.
