Just tried to add the cups-pdf printer to the 12-STABLE workstation I'm writing this on with identical result so by now I see this on three different boxes, all running 12-STABLE.

If I have the time at some point I could try to revert to an older version but it would be nicer to sort the problem. Not sure how to proceed from here... Per
