FWIW, I had this problem too...
Can someone who has the problem open a ticket. I don't recall an issue,
but I haven't updated cups-filters in a while.
If we now need --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/pdftops, do we need that
options at all?
I'll note that I think printing is one of the more difficult
capabilities to get right. This is what I have in my notes for an HP
Officejet (ink) printer:
"To get printing to work, install in this order:
cups
ghostscript ! (not just runtime)
cups-filters
gutenprint
sane (for hplip)
net-snmp (for hplip, not in blfs)
hplip (not in blfs)
If using hplip, not sure if gutenprint is needed.
hplip needs net-snmp
install fails with man pages (needs sedscript whatever that is)
hplip needs sane
Set parallel port capability!
Build hplip with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pp-build
make
sudo make install
Restart cups after changing printer config?"
For HPLIP, I use "./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--enable-cups-ppd-install". This is for an HP Envy All-In-One (printer,
scanner, copier). There should be no need for parallel port capability.
Gutenprint is not needed (I don't know if it may be required for some
printer models, but it isn't for me) and there is no need to restart CUPS
afterwards.
Thanks Chris. I've added your comments to my notes and will try it out
the next time I've doing a full rebuild.
