[cups.general] imagetops does not seem to support Color

[Michael Sweet]

Make sure you pass the full environment, including the PPD env var, so that it knows what to do with the image. If you can't provide the full PPD to it for some reason, set the PPD env var to point to a dummy file with just the size and color info...
