Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups-pdf
The attached file prints JUST FINE from an 8.04 Hardy system.
The attached file is missing the boarding group and number on an 8.10 Ibex system.
Print a Southwest Airlines Boarding Pass using "CUPS-PDF"
8.04 - works fine. You can also send it to a printer.
8.10 - The created PDF lacks the boarding group letter or number. It's actually NOT IN THE PDF!!! (Broken thing #1)
Print a Southwest Airlines Boarding Pass using "print to file" and select PDF
The created file looks fine on e.g. evince.
8.04 - Evince can print this file
8.10 - Evince sends the file to the printer but its hows up without the boarding group letter or number (Broken thing #2)
THE SAME FILE prints fine from an 8.04 system but prints WITHOUT the info from an 8.10 system.
The 8.10 system is an upgraded 8.04 system.

The problem is that perhaps the pstopdf filter breaks the input data somehow.
Can you all replace your /usr/lib/ cups/filter/ pstopdf by the attached file? Please do not forget to make it executable
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ cups/filter/ pstopdf
Can you print correctly now?
