(Get the code!)
Everything was done on Ubuntu Hardy and Ubuntu Intrepid.
The problem occurs with both evince and pdftops.
Tests were done with the attached PostScript file converted to PDF via
ps2pdf13 testpage-a4.ps
(this used the installed Ghostscript 8.63 for the conversion).
The PDF file was sent to CUPS via
lpr testpage-a4.pdf
On Hardy CUPS immediately converts the file to PostScript using the pdftops filter, on Intrepid the same conversion to PostScript happens in a later filtering step.
The other way to break it is to open the PDF file with evince on Hardy and printing it. In this case evince generates PostScript, using Poppler. CUPS passes this on in PostScript format.
One problem in evaluating the results is that the failure only happens with Brother printers. On the screen or on an HP printer the documents come out correctly.
