Oh, you mean that the MacOS client have their own cups which
transforms the PDF into (broken) PostScript and sends this to the
Debian cups server? Indeed there's not a lot we could do about this
I'm afraid, since the pdftops filter isn't involved on the Debian
side.

Or did I understand this wrongly?

Thanks,

Martin
