One more noteworthy change in cups-filters-1.0.42 NEWS file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- foomatic-rip: Moved foomatic-rip's upstream home from the
foomatic-filters package to cups-filters, to make it easier
for distributions to ship and maintain a complete printing
stack and also to make upstream maintenance and development
easier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I understand this correctly, it means that with cups-filters-1.0.42
I could remove our foomatic-filters package. I really appreciate
software package clean-ups!
The only thing that is currently in the foomatic-filters package
is /usr/lib/cups/backend/beh which seems to not have been moved
to cups-filters - but this does not really matter - I could easily
re-add http://www.openprinting.org/download/files/beh
back to our cups-backends package, cf. "rpm -q --changelog cups-backends"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Thu May 28 2009 [email protected]
- Removed the beh backend because it is now provided
in the upgraded foomatic-filters version 4.0.1 package.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Till Kamppeter,
perhaps it makes sense to also add the Backend Error Handler
to cups-filters to have an even more complete printing stack?
And if you are intersted, in 2009 I made a "pipe" backend.
It is a wrapper backend for printing to any program.
It forwards the print job data like a pipe into another command.
It is not needed often but for special cases it could help.
Only a few SUSE customers use it.
If you like, feel free to also add it to cups-filters.
It is just a bash script (I like bash programming :-), see
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Printing/cups-backends
/cups-pipe.sh?expand=1

Bug description:
Drastic changes in CUPS 1.6.1 (non Apple feature removed mostly) are
detrimental to Ubuntu users. We should wait until the missing features
(like automatic appearing of remote CUPS queues) before to unleash the
newer version to users. This means downgrading cups in Quantal.
