Hi,

I'm trying to print A4 landscape documents to my printer using Generic-PDF driver.
The printer supports A3 size paper, and also has stapler or hole-punch option.
In order to work properly these finishing options with A4 landscape document, the printer does need to know which side is the top of the page (it should be long edge).  However, the CUPS filters seems to rotate automatically A4 size landscape pages to portrait orientation (the top of the page is short edge).

I tried to cancel the auto-rotation feature by pdftopdf filter using "-o nopdfAutoRotate" or "-o pdfAutoRotate=false" options, but they don't work.

I tried with following OSes.

- Ubuntu 22.04 (cups-filters 1.28.15)
- Ubuntu 23.10 (cups-filters 2.0.0) - filter is changed to "universal"?

Any help?
