Bug#779178: ***SPAM*** Re: Bug#779178: ghostscript: Landscape document rotate CCW not CW



Hello  Jonas,

Attached is a sample Libreoffice writer document.
Please open it, and print it with setting page size com-10(envelop#10) and landscape.
Wheezy machine and Jessie machine show different result.

Regards,
Tomoo

PS. If confirmed, please forward to a cups-filter maintainer.

Dear Maintainer,

When printing a landscape document from any application such as Libreoffice writer, it is rotated to a portrait document.
>From ealier version until Wheezy, it was rotated by clockwise(CW). However, in case of Jessie, it is rotated by counter clockwise(CCW).
To print an address and name on an envelope, upper and bottom side are fixed. Many already formed documents are assumed as rotating by CW.
To keep conpativility and avoid unnecessary maintenance of documents, landscape document should rotate by CW.
I'm not sure the exact module, but I think pdftopdf owns the function which might be reacently rewitten.
pdftopdf is part of cups-filters, not ghostscript.

Perhaps if you describe more detailed what to do to replicate the issue,
then others less familiar with the tool can help triangulate what is
going on.  As an example, I have ghostscript and (some parts of)
LibreOffice installed, but not cups-filters, so if the flaw is in
cups-filters then obviously my replicating the steps would fail.
