This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.3.10-3

---------------
cups (1.3.10-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Till Kamppeter ]
  * debian/cups.install, debian/rules: Move added *.convs and *.types files to
    /usr/share/cups/mime/ so that they are not considered config files
    by dpkg.
  * debian/local/text.convs: Turn all text input formats to text/plain at
    a high cost, so that the text-only printer (which accepts only text/plain)
    accepts them (LP: #385797).
  * debian/rules: Switch the pdftops filter back to Poppler, as Ghostscript
    has a lot of problems in generating PostScript (LP: #382379).
  * debian/patches/poppler-based-pdftops-fixes.dpatch: Fixes for the pdftops
    filter in Poppler mode: Do not emit PostScript level 3 as it Poppler's
    PostScript level 3 output is not compatible with HP's PostScript printers
    (LP: #277404); Added support for the new "-origpagesizes" option of
    Poppler's pdftops, so that documents with pages of different sizes get
    correctly printed (LP: #310575).
  * debian/filters/pstopdf: Do not call Ghostscript with asymmetric resolutions
    (like 1200x600 dpi), as it leads to problems with images in some cases.
    See http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690504.
  * debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/pdftopdf/P2PObject.h,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/pdftopdf/P2POutput.cxx: Fixed infinite
    loop which occured for some PDF files (LP: #382880).
  * debian/filters/pstopdf: Make it also correctly working if PaperDimension
    and ImageableArea entries in the PPD have no translation strings. Thanks
    to Koji Otani to find the bug.
  * debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/pdftoopvp/,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/README,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/addtocups,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/removefromcups,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/config-scripts/cups-pdf-filters.m4:
    Added pdftoopvp CUPS filter as part of the PDF filter add-on.
  * debian/cups.install: Make /etc/fonts/conf.d/99pdftoopvp.conf of pdftoopvp
    be installed as part of the cups package
  * debian/control: Added build dependencies needed by pdftoopvp: liblcms1-dev,
    libfreetype6-dev, libfontconfig1-dev
  * debian/control: Moved dependency on cups-client to Depends:, as
    cups-client is needed by the post-install script for the update of the
    PPDs of existing print queues.
  * debian/cups.postinst: Case-insensitive check for model names when updating
    PPDs of already existing print queues.

  * Add gnutls-pkgconfig.dpatch: Use "pkg-config gnutls" instead of deprecated
    libgnutls-config. (Closes: #529903)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes necessary).
  * debian/control: Point Vcs-Browser: to bzr.d.o. loggerhead, and use http://
    URL for Vcs-Bzr.
  * debian/control: Drop ghostscript build dependency again, pdftops filter
    uses poppler again. Also Drop alternative xpdf-utils build dependency,
    since configure now checks for poppler's pdftops capabilities.
  * debian/control, debian/rules: Do a build-time check if pdftops supports
    -origpagesizes, and dynamically set the poppler-utils dependency. This is
    a hack until https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19777 makes it
    into Debian.
  * debian/cups.install, debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/addtocups: Disable
    new pdftoopvp filter for now, since sid does not yet have poppler 0.11.
    Lower libpoppler-dev build dependency again.
