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, Naram Qashat
