           Summary: man pages mention unimplemented -cfg flag
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/461961

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Hi,

Older cups/cupsys (at least in Debian) would call pdftops with a -cfg flag to
set misc options; this caused failure to print in some cases, see e.g.:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457810
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460624

Cupsys/cups in Debian was changed not to rely on this flag anymore, but the man
pages of poppler utils still mention this unimplemented option.

I'll attach a patch to drop the -cfg flag from man pages; this was reported as
Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/461961 but I'm not sure whether poppler
should implement support for -cfg instead of dropping it from the docs.

Cheers,
