[cups] Printing A5 PDF on A4

[Helge Blischke]

It depends ... :
In case you use the cups-filters package from openprinting.org (which  
uses PDF-oriented workflow), the position option
should work, as the pdftopdf filter honours this option (tested on an  
Ubuntu based box with cups-filgters 1.0.18).
Note that the filter needs to know the media size, either by PDF  
default or specified by the media option.
If not, i.e. you use plain CUPS, then the position option only works  
for printing images, so you are out of luck.
