Dear devs, the recent update from net-print/cups-filters-1.28.17-r2 to net-print/cups-filters-2.0.0 broke color printing, as least for my printer (Brother HL-L2370DN). I see the same problem on my Artix notebook, so I think this is actually an upstream issue, not a Gentoo-specific one. I already filed an upstream bug report with scans showing the problem at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/578 . Masking net-print/cups-filters-2.0.0 and downgrading to 1.28.17-r2 fixes the problem here. So: Please don't remove v1.28.17-r2 from the tree until this issue is resolved ... Thanks a lot! Cheers, Tobias
Thank you!
This actually has already been fixed upstream, but there's no new release yet. The issue has been moved to libcupsfilters, which do cause this. Three patches have been mentioned there: https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/commit/c6175a2f.patch https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/commit/107091186.patch https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/commit/78cc6758.patch For c6175a2f.patch, I had to remove the first hunk to make it work, but this was only a whitespace chance. The rest and the other two worked as-is. After rebuilding libcupsfilters and restartting cupsd, my printer worked as before the update. I don't know when they will do a bugfix release. But this is serious breakage. Maybe, this would be worth a -r4 ebuild from Gentoo's side?

Works fine. Thanks for including this :-)
Thanks!
