cups / foomatic does not create /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip link ? solution: ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip this should be fixed soon in correct ebuild? This was pain in to ass to find out..
Which cups version?
stable and ~x86 masked on latest portage.
problem mainly is when you need to use foomatic based printers
