'fitplot' broken

Using the fitplot=true option causes incorrect PS output. For example, the attached 'print.ps' is from Mozilla, looking at cups.org. 'lpr -ofitplot=true print.ps' fails for me, and in the logs I see:

OK, the problem is cause by how they are using the Begin/EndPageSetup comments - they basically are saving the graphics state and scaling the whole page, not doing Begin/EndFeature comments and commands.

Unfortunately, this is something that Adobe has documented as "good practice", even though it is a MAJOR pain to work around...

I'll see what we can come up with for a fix...

Fixed in Subversion repository.

Please note: Mozilla's output also contains a setpagedevice command without a corresponding Begin/EndFeature pair, which might cause problems with some printers...

Please file a bug upstream with them to add:

%%BeginFeature: *PageSize sizename
... existing code
%%EndFeature: *PageSize

"sizename" would be "Letter", "A4", etc.
