Which cups version?

Comment 2 Eero Volotinen 2006-08-23 06:29:20 UTC

stable and ~x86 masked on latest portage.

Comment 3 Eero Volotinen 2006-08-23 06:30:16 UTC

problem mainly is when you need to use foomatic based printers

cups-1.2.x is not supposed to produce anything in /usr/libs/cups, that directory doesn't even exist any more.
