Recently I migrated my main workstation from devuan to gentoo. While under devuan, my printer, an OKI C5750, worked well, I have some troubles under gentoo. The printer itself and printing as such works well, but when I try to print some pdf with lp, it fails with the error 'lp: Unsupported document-format "application/pdf".'. I installed net-print/cups-meta and added the following use flags: app-text/ghostscript-gpl cups net-print/cups-meta pdf net-print/libcupsfilters pdf There is a /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pdftops and a /usr/bin/pdftops installed (from net-print/cups-filters-2.0.0 and app-text/poppler-24.02.0). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to print a pdf file with lp 2. 3. Actual Results: lp: Unsupported document-format "application/pdf". Expected Results: It prints the file
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

Well, there is nothing support that I need as the package seems to be broken. (Or the documentation.) One or the other, I like to improve packages. But you are right, there are too little info from my side.

Also I read the information of the deprecated filter configuration and that it should be not needed. As about IRC support: I have only bad experiences. When one has the luck to find someone who had the same problem in the past, it is a good help but most of the time it is a hurden to be kicked out cause not finding a free username or staying forever with no answer at all. (I know IRC from 30 years ago where it was really fun but today...) Moreover, if a solution is found, it is not available for others having the same troubles.
Any pdf setting in mime.types?
Some, but nothing hand crafted: /etc> grep pdf mime.types application/pdf pdf application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.sealedmedia.softseal.pdf spdf spd s1a
what printer details do you have in cups. Could be in: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
Which detail you are looking for? Beschreibung: OKI C5750 Ort: Treiber: OKI C5750(PS) (farbig, 2-seitiges Drucken) Verbindung: http://shada:631/ipp Standardeinstellungen: job-sheets={job_sheets_default} media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=two-sided-long-edge And that one works with printing postscript.
Which Informations do you need?
