I have also confirmed this.
Problem: pdftops is failing when trying to fax pdf's from hplip 2.8.2.
Steps:
Fully updated system
Install latest hplip 2.8.2 from source
--although hplip isn't causing this problem, so the hplip version wont matter
Attempt to send a fax using hp-sendfax
--you will likely get an error that rendering fail.
Check cups (locahost:631/printers) notice error: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
failed" for the fax queue.
Expected: pdftops should convert the pdf to ps with no errors.
I believe this problem is because pdftops no longer supports the -cfg
option, and it is still getting passed the option from cupsys (I assume
cupsys anyway.)
Verified pdftops file.pdf file.ps works correctly. pdftops is correctly
converting pdf files to ps.
