Bug Description

Reported in Debian BTS:

Hello,

printing a landscape-orientied PDF works with pdftops from xpdf-utils
but with pdftops from poppler-utils (unstable and experimental) only the
part which fits on a portrait orientied page is printed.

Here is a diff of the outputs by pdftops:

I'm reporting this bug against cupsys because it's the package with
which I'm experiencing the problem, but it might be a bug in
poppler-utils. However before reassigning, a conflict against the current
version of poppler-utils might be warranted.

Thank you,
  Silvestre

This bug STILL seems to be there in Hardy Beta. I find this rather serious, it affects almost all printing in Ubuntu.
