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
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.
Stable for HPPA. And I fixed the quoting issues.
Sparc stable (but note Comment #4).
Works well for me. amd64 done.
stable on ppc
ppc64 stable
alpha/ia64 did -r2
mips stable.
