Bug Description
CUPS adds the option setting "AP_D_InputSlot=" to every job. This overrides the InputSlot option and so the InputSlot setting and even the default setting for InputSlot in the PPD get never used, rendering InputSlot useless.
This way one cannot select the input paper tray, neither via the printing dialog when sending a job nor by the default setting done in system-
At least for some printers one can select the tray by the front panel menus as a workaround.
A small patch (attached) solves the problem. It simply makes the AP_D_InputSlot option being ignore when its argument is empty.

Uploaded the fixed CUPS to both the Debian BZR repository (for Debian unstable and for Precise) and also to oneiric-proposed where it is waiting for approval now. A debdiff of the changes is attached.
