Latest pacman -Syu update trashed cupsd

This happened on my wife's laptop running the standard kernel and on my workstation running the zen kernel. Nothing prints. Cups reports "filter failed". Do I need to delete the printer and then set up a new one? How can I fix the filter?

Did the wiki help? maybe provide more information from log.

Hi all,

This is probably due to poppler.
I got the 'filter failed' message too.
Code: (cups/error_log) [Select]
EPSON_ET-2720_Series_USB: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-cpp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
poppler-25.01.0-1 no longer creates libpoppler-cpp.so.1 like 24-12-0-1, but libpoppler-cpp.so.2.

As a workaround I ran
Code: [Select]
ln -s libpoppler-cpp.so.2 libpoppler-cpp.so.1
but of course that is not a solution.

I tried this work around and it did not work for me.

There is a new cups build (cups-2:2.4.11-2) which will likely fix your issue.
