foomatic-filters-3.0.2-r1 
foomatic-3.0.2 
cups-1.1.23-r8

seems like you did not restart cups when updating to 1.2.2

Please update all the versions again to ~arch and restart cups before printing of course. The old path should not be used with 1.2
Comment 2 Roland Leißa 2006-08-31 19:33:33 UTC
OK, I updated everything to newest version (~x86), did etc-update and -- of course -- restarted cups. Now it works.
The problem was that I did not know to install pnm2ppa for HP printers and read somewhere in the forum that newer cups verions don't work with HP. Thus I downgraded cups.

But then this one here is a bug. Downgrading cups should also downgrade
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-filters
foomatic

This is what happened to me :(

Steps to reproduce (for ~x86):
emerge cups
echo ">net-print/cups-1.1.23-r8" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge cups


Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-31 22:54:26 UTC
well, if you have read the cups-1.2 postinstallation notes, you should also be able to know hat you need to rebuild foomatic/drivers for a downgrade, too.

On the other hand, you should not be downgrading but file a bug for the problem with the current version ;)

If you think I should fix anything, please tell me what and where.
