[Bug 1464783] [NEW] Number up option is processed before the page extraction option

 

Public bug reported:

When printing multiple pages per sheet, it seems that number-up option
is processed before the page range option.

For example, the command below will print 4 pages of the document using
two sheets of paper, instead of one sheet with two pages.

lp -o page-ranges=1-2 -o number-up=2 filename.pdf

This bug makes it impossible to print odd number of pages with number-up
option > 1. Say, if I want to print three pages using two pages per
sheet, and I will not be able to.

This was tested with Cups 1.7.5, cups-filters 1.0.69 on Ubuntu.
