Comment 2 for bug 1019662

Additional info: OSX client shows "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and "Error: job stopped on server"

On the server, running "strace -s 2048 -v -f -p <pid of cups> 2>log" before submitting the job, I captured the following:

...

The length of the string "pdftops '78' ...... com.apple.print.PrintSett" is exactly 1024 bytes, not including the outside double-quotes, so it looks like some fixed-sized internal buffer has been hit on the job properties.

(Aside: quite why a shell is being used here, rather than execve of pdftops directly, is unclear to me)
