Description Loïc Minier 2008-08-20 04:40:54 UTC 
Hi,

Older cups/cupsys (at least in Debian) would call pdftops with a -cfg flag to set misc options; this caused failure to print in some cases, see e.g.:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457810
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460624

Cupsys/cups in Debian was changed not to rely on this flag anymore, but the man pages of poppler utils still mention this unimplemented option.

I'll attach a patch to drop the -cfg flag from man pages; this was reported as Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/461961 but I'm not sure whether poppler should implement support for -cfg instead of dropping it from the docs.

Cheers,
