I didn't detect it myself because I run already CUPS 1.4rc1 on my workstation and I noticed already PDF failures here but had no time to investigate and never had the idea that this major regression was actually introduced in the stable CUPS 1.3 series: Since the upgrade to CUPS 1.3.10 it uses a wrapper program filter/pdftops.c which only calls /usr/bin/pdftops (via configure --with-pdftops=/usr/bin/pdftops) but unfortunately if there is no /usr/bin/pdftops installed in the build system, it silently just does not build any /usr/lib[64]/cups/filter/pdftops :-( For your CUPS update: The first place where the fixed CUPS packages will appear after several hours is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/ You need to update at least the following packages cups-libs, cups-client, and cups. To verify that you actually got the fixed CUPS packages run rpm -q --changelog cups | head for an already installed package or rpm -q --changelog -p cups-1.3.11-*.rpm | head and you must get this changelog entry: ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Fri Jul 31 2009 jsmeix@suse.de - full_path_to_configure_with-pdftops.patch adds support to specify a full path in 'configure --with-pdftops=/usr/bin/pdftops' to avoid 'BuildRequires: xpdf-tools' which would bloat the build system but would be only needed to satisfy 'AC_PATH_PROG(CUPS_PDFTOPS, pdftops)' in cups-pdf.m4 if only 'configure --with-pdftops=pdftops' was possible (Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#526847). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please report if printing from KDE4 applications works for you with the fixed CUPS packages. I am now back at the fixed CUPS 1.3.11 packages on my workstation and for me printing simple PDFs via echo Hello | a2ps -1 -o - | ps2pdf - - | lp -d queue_name works again. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
