Description:   Opened: 2007-10-09 17:35 0000 
Printing works without any problems with <app-text/poppler-0.6
After upgrading to app-text/poppler-0.6 cups chokes on printing pdfs (typically
printing a page containing only the two letters "IB" and an "PCL XL error"
page).

net-print/cups-1.2.12 installs pdftops.pl from ${FILESDIR} to pdftops in cups'
filter directory.
This filter internally calls poppler's pdftops command and among other things
always passes a "-cfg" option to poppler's pdftops.
At least with app-text/poppler-0.6, poppler's pdftops command does not allow
the -cfg option.

An easy remedy would be to modify line 107 of pdftops.pl of ${FILESDIR} as in
the attached patch.

Reproducible: Always

ok, thanks, I fixed it. We need to stabilize this before poppler-0.6

------- Comment #3 From Markus Meier 2007-10-22 20:10:07 0000 ------- 
x86 stable

On sparc, net-print/cups-1.2.12-r1 works fine as an upgrade from
net-print/cups-1.2.10-r1 as a driver for network PS printers (and yes, it can
handle .pdf files).  If this is sufficient validation, sparc is good.  However,
jmbsvicetto raised the question of testing with a local printer.  If that is
necessary, I cannot do that so someone else will have to.

Test system is running pdftops from poppler-0.6.1.
