After updating CUPS to version 1.1.23r7, landscape printing stopped working. In other words, when a job is sent as landscape, it will print in portrait orientation cropping out the rest. This happens with ALL printers, regardless of make or model. I haven't found a switch in CUPS to tweak this behaviour, so maybe you have some hints, where to search?

Does cups-1.2.1(hardmasked) work?
Does cups-1.2.1 work? Please reopen when you are still interested.
(In reply to comment #2) > Does cups-1.2.1 work? > > Please reopen when you are still interested. cups-1.2.1 is not existent, but cups-1.2.0 fixed the problem. It took me very long to verify, since the system in question is so slow. When cups was updated, it took more than a month for the computer to compile all the dependencies.
