On my ~amd64 machine printing stopped working after a recent upgrade and downgrading cairo to 1.18.0 fixed the problem. I got a hint from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299255 that cairo may be involved. Reproducible: Always

I have also hit this bug. Downgrading from =x11-libs/cairo-1.18.2 back to =x11-libs/cairo-1.18.0 and then restarting cupsd fixes the problem. I have tested printing from Evince.
