I'm having a similar problem with kpdf (in Gentoo, but they're also using a poppler-patched kpdf). Possibly this issue is the result of an xpdf/poppler bug. See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131296 for more details.
According to http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/overview.html cups is also using xpdf code to interpret the pdf file. This could explain the similar behaviour in both cases. -- lpr -o sides=one-sided HAS NO EFFECT https://launchpad.net/bugs/47263 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
