"man pdfops
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
 -cfg config-file
              Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but
 pdftops -cfg /etc/cups/pdftops.conf ch09.pdf xx.ps
will bring me to the usage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pdftops version 3.00
Copyright 1996-2004 Glyph & Cog, LLC
Usage: pdftops [options] <PDF-file> [<PS-file>]
  -f <int> : first page to print
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and there is no -cfg option.

and this will cause cups print failed to work.

which in effect is caused by 'cupsys: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops' which assume pdftops accept -cfg option."

The man page will be fixed in upcoming release. We don't support the -cfg option, actually we don't use xpdfrc at all
