Package: xpdf
Version: 3.02-12
Severity: important
Since squeeze xpdf cannot properly print (or save as postscript
in a printable way) many documents, including landscape ones and
those with unusual paper sizes.
With pdftops from the old xpdf-utils things worked correctly,
with pdftops from poppler-utils it only works with "-paper a4"
command line argument. Looking at the source that is because
xpdf used to consult /etc/papersize while poppler generates
a postscript of the size of the pdf document.
(And the printers here only have A4 paper, not landscape A4 paper,
nor A3 paper).
For xpdf the situation is even worse, as the -paper option does not
work. xpdf still sets globalParams->setPSPaperSize but poppler does
not use that value. (You need to call new PSOutputDev with additional
arguments for papersize and most likely duplex).
