Comment 14 for bug 303691

I have checked and there is also a problem in the /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf file.

Please do another test with a dummy pdftopdf filter:

sudo -s
mv /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf.orig
cat > /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf << EOF
#!/bin/sh
cat \$6
EOF
chmod a+rx /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf
exit

Now send another print job. Does it come out correctly?

Note that with the dummy pdftopdf filter page management options (like 4 pages per sheet, scaling, selected pages, ...) will not work. Return to the normal pdftopdf with

sudo cp /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf.orig /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf

Adding cups task ... (the pdftopdf filter is part of the cups package).
