Details

Description:
I try to print anything, the printing stops with the generic error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops failed".

I'm using testing repo, system updated.
I'm using a custom kernel (now 2.6.34-rc7), obviously things like cups daemon started properly, user in lp group and so on are ok, since printing was ok since yesterday.

Additional info:

extra/hplip 3.10.2-1
extra/cups 1.4.3-2

printer HP C4180

please report this upstream. this doesn't seem to be a packaging bug.

Actually, this is happening only with PDF files. I'm going to report this upstream

Same problem was solved by reinstalling ghostscript.
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster and /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster was missing.
Check 'pacman -Qk' for warnings.

Sorry I didn't notice the mail.

Anyway I had to format for switching from 64 to 32bit\btrfs system and now I haven't any problem anymore.
