  I've got a printing problem with the new cups.

I've got a similar problem with cups 1.7 and a Lexmark T640
using the foomatic filters. I've to use Generic Postcript printer to
make it works again.

That worked fine with cups 1.5. With 1.7 the printer prints nothing.
I guess something is broken.

Anything suspicious at /var/log/messages, /var/log/cups/*?
OS version and which cups / foomatic ports are installed?

Something that I think needs to be brought up. It appears that since CUPS 1.6.x, cups-filters is required for it to work with most printers. Since we are now on 1.7.1, that means that print/cups-filters should also be installed. I ran into the same problem with my printer after the upgrade and installing cups-filters fixed it. I even put in an update for print/cups-filters just yesterday (trying to take over maintainership of it). I don't know if this means that print/cups-filters should be made into a libdepends on cups-base or not. My gut feeling is that it probably should, though, if CUPS is now "useless" without it.

Thanks,
