[Bug 802942] Re: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails

[Till Kamppeter]

In cups-filters one could introduce a filter named oldcairopdftopdf to
be run before pdftopdf if the incoming PDF is from a too old Cairo
version. One could introduce a new MIME type to make CUPS detect such
PDF. The new filter would simply run this PDF to some command line
progrem which regenerates it, for example Ghostscript with the
"pdfwrite" output device.

Such thing would be really an awkward workaround, a fix in Firefox,
Thunderbird, and/or Gecko would be the correct solution for this
problem.
