FYI:

cups-filters OBS submitrequest 196881:
  Renamed cups/banners/* files and cups/data/testprint
  to avoid a file conflict with CUPS which also provides those files.

Ghostscript 9.10 Release Candidate 1
  is available from home:jsmeix:branches:Printing

CUPS 1.7 Release Candidate 1
  is available from home:jsmeix


On my openSUSE 12.3 virtual machine (i586)
with a HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer I run now:

cups-1.7rc1

ghostscript-9.pre10rc1
installing it requires "rpm -Uhv --force" because
"zypper vcmp 9.07 9.pre10rc1" tells "9.07 is newer than 9.pre10rc1"
which is o.k. for me because it avoids an unintended overwrite
of the latest officially released Ghostscript 9.07 by a
release candidate - on the other hand the release candidate can
later simply upgraded to 9.10 because "zypper vcmp 9.10 9.pre10rc1"
tells "9.10 is newer than 9.pre10rc1".

cups-filters-1.0.36
that requires additionally libqpdf13 (its source package is qpdf)


I did the following adjustments:

# cp -p /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.backup

# cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

I disabled all lines in /etc/cups/pstotiff.convs
(strange file from HPLIP - I need to ask upstream what the
 reason behind is - I guess it has something to do with faxing)
otherwise one gets weird filtering e.g. of PostScript input
via pstotiff and imagetopdf (printing works nevertheless).

# systemctl restart cups.service


Printing PostScript, plain text, PDF and PNG works for me
on my local HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer using:

# echo hello | a2ps -1 -o- | lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020

# echo hello | lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020

# lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020 \
 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.10/examples/text_graphic_image.pdf

# lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/HPmenu.png


Using "grep PID /var/log/cups/error_log" you can see what filters
are run by CUPS for each kind of print job data.
