Additionally, I don't understand the default pdf-filtering process (PDF->PS->PDF->PS). My current solution is (=deactivate pstopdf processing): I change the file /usr/share/cups/mime/cupsfilters.convs 1.) Comment out line 45 to #application/postscript application/pdf 22 pstopdf 2.) added this after line 45: application/postscript application/vnd.cups-postscript 66 pstops Restart cupsd! Now, I can print my PDFs to my printers again. Hope this helps, Martin
please try cups-filters-1.0.35, the filter chains were improved there
Tried cups-filters-1.0.35, same error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstopdf: eval: line 102: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
Do you still have this problem with current versions of cups / cups-filters?
The printer works now with net-print/cups-filters-1.5.0 and net-print/cups-2.1.4.
