I included it because foomatic-filters does not need enscript, cups, mpage and a2ps to build, one of then will fo the job.

I cannot comment on your solution but according to http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html You need to put a symlink in cups/filters in ordner to register foomatic as a cups-filter. > In what scenario is fdescfs needed to work properly?
