My system is unable to print with if running net-print/foomatic-db-20050910. I reverted my system to the previous working version, net-print/foomatic-db-20050606, and printing works again. However, net-print/foomatic-db-20050910 seems to break the /usr/share/ppd link, and requires manual removal to get the previous version to work. # emerge --info Portage 2.1_pre9-r4 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.17-rc2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-rc2 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr cli crypt cups dri dvd eds emboss encode foomaticdb fortran gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde lzw lzw-tiff mp3 mpeg ncurses nls opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb xorg xpm xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_sis video_cards_vesa video_cards_fbdev" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

The problem appears to be the removal of /usr/bin/foomatic-rip, as /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip, /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/foomatic-rip, and /usr/lib/ppr/lib/foomatic-rip are still links to /usr/bin/foomatic-rip. I get errors like this in /var/log/cups/error_log: I [27/Apr/2006:14:28:43 -0400] Job 160 queued on 'hp2300dn' by 'ljacobs'. I [27/Apr/2006:14:28:43 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 28257) for job 160. I [27/Apr/2006:14:28:43 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip (PID 28258) for job 160.

You can see that the attempt to run foomatic-rip (pid 28258) is the thing that causes the problem.

I'm having problems with working around this problem. I tried to follow the steps the reporter mentions, but his "requires manual removal" is too terse for me. I would really appreciate it if anybody could be more specific on what I should do. TIA
Sorry, my "manual removal" was to remove the /usr/share/ppd directory. For those who are scared, you can move the directory to another location. # mv /usr/share/ppd /usr/share/ppd2

Afterwards, printing worked back like it should. So I can confirm the bug and the workaround.
