Re: rollback print/cups for pkgsrc-2014Q2?

Hi,

I also spent some time to get cup 1.7.3 running, but I managed to print.
For postscript based printers I used cups-filters. The cups and the 
cups-filters package share some files, so you have to resolve PLIST 
conflicts.

share/cups/banners/classified
share/cups/banners/confidential
share/cups/banners/secret
share/cups/banners/standard
share/cups/banners/topsecret
share/cups/banners/unclassified
share/cups/data/testprint

For non postscript based printers (in my case HP Photosmart C309a) I 
installed hplip together with ghostscript-gpl and option cups enabled 
(ghostscript-agpl didn't work).
Again ghostscript-gpl and cups-filters share some files.

libexec/cups/filter/gstopxl
libexec/cups/filter/gstoraster

This is really annoying. The following page explains the background.
