[cups] lp's "orientation-requested" issue | RHEL 6

[Helge Blischke]

Check what CUPS filters your RHEL6 system uses. If it uses the pdf- 
workflow filters
from openprinting, i. e. pdftopdf (instead of pstops) by default,  
check if it is based on
libqpdf or not. If yes, this filter does not honour the orientation- 
requested option
(only landscape).
In this case, I'd suggest you file a bug at openprinting.org.
