Confirmed here. Using hp2600n use flag: * net-print/foo2zjs-20080225 * /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/foo2qpdl.xml * /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Xerox-Phaser-6115MFP.xml * /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Samsung-CLX-3160.xml * /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Xerox-Phaser-6110.xml # cat /etc/portage/package.use |grep 2600 net-print/foo2zjs foo2zjs_devices_hp2600n I'm guessing, the last version of foo2zjs-20080225 may have added these printer drivers to it's own package. They may be more up to date within foo2zjs instead of those provided by foomatic-db? I'm only guessing here. Can somebody pull heads or tails out of the latest additions to foo2zjs and the relative issues now within the latest foomatic-db package? /me shrugs. (As a friendly reminder, "Don't tell the developer of foo2zjs you have a packaging problem with XYZ distro. He's totally against packaging for distros and will rip your head off or, as a kind reminder, ask you to remove foo2zjs from XYZ distro because it's completely illegal within his view. However, others confirm it's OK to package foo2zjs as long as the licensing conditions are met.")
According to: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-db/db/source/driver/foo2qpdl.xml foomatic-db somehow is including his (Rick's) source for foo2qpdl within foomatic-db package. However, the developer (Rick) of foo2qpdl includes foo2qpdl within foo2zjs. Rick makes explicit notes he doesn't want his packages rolled into any distro packager, not to say the least, including foo2qpdl within foomatic-db would make him any happier. (Can only see it making him more unhappier as then, he won't even see *any* hits on his web page as the source is probably embedded within foomatic-db snapshots. With foo2zjs, which apparently includes foo2qpdl, all Gentoo users can at least see the developer's web page address along with emerge printing fetch info.) Since I don't fully understand what foomatic actually provides and does, I can't comment much more on this besides my brief research above. If you're looking for a quick (unrecommended) fix, turn-off FEATURES="collision-protect" within /etc/make.conf and recompile "emerge foomatic-db foo2zjs" in order allowing foo2zjs overwrite files. Then, turn collision-protect back on. Next step might be to consult with foomatic-db devs to see why they're only providing foo2qpdl and not the whole foo2zjs package??
Duplicate of #219190
Using 3.0.20080507 of foomatic-db did not result in collisions. You can try it from ~arch. Also developers may consider making foomatic-db-3.0.20080507. it has been released 9 months ago. The bugs against are for the stable version. And #186730 has another stabilization request filed for some months.
Still in version 4?
I cannot test this, as foomatic-db-4.0.* requires foo2zjs to be built without FOO2ZJS_DEVICES=hp2600n. I only have a hp2600n printer. Why is only hp2600n is blocked ?

I assume from the collision, that foomatic includes the driver for hp2600n?
(In reply to comment #7) > I assume from the collision, that foomatic includes the driver for hp2600n? > You are right, foomatic-db has drivers for hp2600n (named as foo2hp) No need for foo2zjs package. Actually over a year ago, in Comment #4 I had stated that foomatic-db-3.0.20080507 has fixed the problem. I guess this bug can be closed.

Does not happen anymore with foo2zjs (pmasked) and net-print/foomatic-db-4.0.20110506 (to be stabilized).
