I started looking at this, but it appears to be a mess. https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/commit/808f439f73b947eb1b376e2c3d5c576e445de543 explains the details, but >=cups-filters-2.0.0 seems to have split into libppd to accommodate legacy printer drivers. We don't currently have net-print/libppd packaged, but concerningly, libppd seems to need cups-filters to build, while cups-filters needs libppd to build? From libppd (showing it needs *new* cups-filters, not just any cups-filters): ``` [...] libtool: compile: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -O2 -pipe -march=native -fdiagnostics-color=always -frecord-gcc-switches -Wreturn-type -ggdb3 -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -c ppd/ppdc-import.cxx -fPIC -DPIC -o ppd/.libs/ppdc-import.o In file included from ppd/ppdc-import.cxx:16: ./ppd/ppd.h:26:12: fatal error: cupsfilters/log.h: No such file or directory 26 | # include <cupsfilters/log.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [Makefile:1578: ppd/ppdc-import.lo] Error 1 [...] ``` And from cups-filters-2.0.0: ``` [...] checking for libcupsfilters... yes checking for libppd... no configure: error: Package requirements (libppd) were not met: Package 'libppd', required by 'virtual:world', not found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Created attachment 871215 [details, diff] 0001-net-print-cups-filters-add-2.0.0.patch Attached the draft I had before I started looking at libppd and concluded I must be missing something...
tl;dr: * cups-filters-2.0.0 reworks a lot (the ebuild basically gets rewritten, attached a draft) * cups-filters-2.0.0 seems to need any cups-filters installed already for libcupsfilters * cups-filters-2.0.0 needs libppd * libppd needs cups-filters-2.0.0
while rubberducking it w/ kangie, I found https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters, which I think makes everything a lot more sane as the library has moved out, but it's still a big job to package & test all of this

Now, cups-filters has been split out into multiple sub-packages. The new version of cups-filters depends on a couple of extracted libraries, and builds on these to distribute the actual filters. It no longer handles browsed at all -- this is a completely separate, optional component. Most options are no longer relevant, as they are encapsulated in the subpackages.

Additionally, many "users" of cups may not actually want cups-filters at all. - A primary reason is because cups provides libcups, which other packages need as an RDEPEND in order to support USE=cups while not having any expectation of using a printing stack (at least, yet). - Even more fun, sometimes users have -bin packages where upstream has built the binaries against libcups on the assumption that users who want cups support will automatically get it and users who don't want cups support "just" need the debian libcups2 split binary package. This isn't really solvable without providing a minimal libcups-only experience. Rely instead on a metapackage for the full cups experience.
