Bug#435737: cupsys: pdftops filter is borked, apparently
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4
Severity: normal
Printing from my wife's mac osx no longer works. It appears that the
pdftops filter is broken, referring to a file that no longer exists:

Editing /usr/lib/cups/filters/pdftops to remove the reference to /etc/cups/pdftops doesn't help:

This worked before the upgrade to etch on the print server.
(This appears to be the same bug as Ubunto 125300. That user reports
that removing the '-cfg /etc/cups/pdftops.cfg' option fixes the problem.
Hmmm.)
