It is no problem if you can tell me how you exactly apply this 
parameter, like Ghostscript command line for example. Especially I need 
to know how to do it in the gstoraster filter (patch) and in a way that 
it also works with PDF input files (apps send PDF by default, non-PDF is 
converted to PDF by CUPS/cups-filters).

Best is to post a feature request on

https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/

Product OpenPrinting, component cups-filters.

with all this info and the link to the Ghostscript bug report.

Thanks.
