During system and world update my cups was updated from 1.2.6 to 1.3.7-r1 Emerge was successful. I have also run etc-update and revdep-rebuild as the postinst message requested. Cups gets started up on boot as before successfully. When I try printing I get the error message: E [14/Aug/2008:13:48:55 +0300] Unable to execute /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertoprinter: No such file or directory E [14/Aug/2008:13:48:55 +0300] [Job 658] Unable to start filter "rastertoprinter" - No such file or directory.

(In reply to comment #0) To fix the problem on my system was quite simple after all: 1. Browse to http://localhost:631/admin 2. Select Administration - Add Printer 3. Install the printer that did not print 4. Select - Printers - Delete Printer 5. Delete the faulty printer installation. I suggest an information message to the emerge info be added.
You probably also upgraded gimp-print/gutenprint during your world update since older versions shipped the mentioned filter "rastertoprinter". The recent ppd file for your printer now makes use of the "rastertogutenprint.5.1" filter: $ zcat /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.1/C/stp-bjc-3000.5.1.ppd.gz | grep cupsFilter *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertogutenprint.5.1" Gutenprint should normally take care of automatically updating your ppd files nowadays by running /usr/sbin/cups-genppdupdate.5.x in the pkg_postinst() phase of the ebuild.
