Comment 31 for bug 310575

1. Version 1.2 supported this, we have always been using this command line printing for these print jobs, it used to work as long as we had debian sarge with a self built vanilla v1.2 on the print server. It makes sense to support paper picking.
2. pdftops filter works partly: paper is picked properly for single print jobs with only one paper format, but a print file with a combination of A4 and A3 is complately printed to A4 paper with scale down. This is at least much better than cropping. Great! Thanks!
For my need here right now that functionality would be sufficient, but wouldn't it be good if combined formats are also printed correctly?
3. mentioned restrictions: Does that mean that if i print from an application i cannot choose the paper? That would also mean if i print an A3 document on a printer that is set to A4 as standard, i don't have to pick the paper and it is printed correctly? Our printers here would anyway reject a letter sized print job unless the printer is set to make it fit on a A4 paper, which is what i have set on all printers here.
