[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#531409: Does the issue still apply to cups-pdf 2.5.1-1 ?

[Volker Behr]

Just for your information in tracking down the bug:

A PDF created by the following command line (the one given above as
example):
echo test | a2ps --title='my test' -2qo- | lp -d pdf      

yields for me upstream with default-settings of CUPS-PDF (2.5.1 as well
as earlier versions) and the default-PPD that is shipped with CUPS-PDF
as output filename

my_test.pdf

To check the concern against the CUPS version, I tested it with CUPS
1.3.9 and CUPS 1.4.4 and in either case it worked. Nevertheless, CUPS
cannot do much about it, since it should just pass through the PS to
CUPS-PDF, which extractes the PS-title itself.
What _might_ make the difference: using different PPDs with CUPS-PDF.

Volker
