Installed the following packages:
printer-driver-cups-pdf (3.0.1-14)

My project is to print a webpage with images, with a reduced images size of 25dpi in the output pdf file.

Can't.

CUPS pdf printer driver, when executed from the GUI from the webpage with Cntrl+P, opens multi-tab options window, with Print/Image quality tab having only limited options from 150 dpi to 2500 dpi, but no custom DPI option that could be selected.

A user should have a choice to determine to DPI of the images in the document that is to be printed as a digital pdf file.

Could this issue be looked into please?

I worked around the problem presently, printing a pdf file, then downsampling it with ghostscript. But this new option could help bypass the ghostscript command.
