I had the same behaviour - printing from pdf files was at 100 dpi. In
the cups error.log there was a "Using image rendering resolution 100
dpi" information. I found on pdftops sources that 2012-04-10 in change
#6926 there was a change for setting a resolution setup in ppd options
('Resolution', 'DefaultResolution'). But my ppd doesn't contains such
options.

I found a workaround for my system. I have brother DCPJ315W printer and
in original ppd file I have such similar options:

*%==== Resolution Features =================================
*OpenUI *BRResolution/Quality: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 14 AnySetup *BRResolution
*DefaultBRResolution: 600x600dpi
*BRResolution 150x150dpi/Fast:  "          "
*BRResolution 300x300dpi/Fast Normal:   "          "
*BRResolution 600x600dpi/Normal:                "          "
*BRResolution 1200x1200dpi/Fine:                "          "
*BRResolution 1200x2400dpi/Photo:               "          "
*BRResolution 1200x6000dpi/Highest:     "          "
*CloseUI: *BRResolution

I added similar options before this one:

*%==== Resolution auto Features =================================
*OpenUI *Resolution/Quality Auto: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 14 AnySetup *Resolution
*DefaultResolution: 600x600
*Resolution 150x150/Fast:       "          "
*Resolution 300x300/Fast Normal:        "          "
*Resolution 600x600/Normal:             "          "
*Resolution 1200x1200/Fine:             "          "
*Resolution 1200x2400/Photo:            "          "
*Resolution 1200x6000/Highest:  "          "
*CloseUI: *Resolution

Now I have two options in printer preferences: 'auto' for setting
pdftops and original BRResolution for Brother's filters.
