tabloid1.pdf

In brief, if I print a 11x17 size PDF to a printer, it prints to 11x17 when the
renderers are pdftops or gs. It prints a cropped image on a Letter size when
pdftocairo is specified. 

cups-filters 1.0.43, 
CUPS 1.6.4, 
Ubuntu 12.04, 
poppler 0.24.5, 
libcairo 1.12.16. 

Printer Ricoh MP C3300 with PostScript PPD.

How to reproduce: 
1. Send attached file with this command line:
lp pdftops-renderer=pdftops ./tabloid1.pdf
2. Send attached file with this command line:
lp pdftops-renderer=pdftocairo ./tabloid1.pdf

First job will be printed on 11x17 page. 
Second job will be printed on default page size, Letter, with only part of the
original page being visible (and no scaling was done).

Here is the pdf setup section from pdftops and pdftocairo outputs:

pdftops:
%%BeginPageSetup
%%PageOrientation: Portrait
792 1224 pdfSetupPaper
pdfStartPage
0 0 792 1224 re W
%%EndPageSetup

pdftocairo (looks like there are comments only, no actual setup):
%%BeginPageSetup
%%PageOrientation: Portrait
%%PageMedia: Tabloid
%%PageBoundingBox: 63 56 737 1163
%%EndPageSetup</pre>
