Hello Karl, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and cups have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 1452193 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and cups better.

The PPD for this backend accepts PDF:s directly through this line: *cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 -" However, FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE is always set to printer/thinlocal, so the backend can't possibly determine the input format by looking at the FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE. This is broken with (at least): - Ubuntu 14.04 (cups 1.7.2), - Ubuntu 14.10 (cups 1.7.5) - Ubuntu 15.04 (cups 2.0.2).
