It did, but this looks like a regression introduced by the fix of 
#731658, which makes the Linux command-lines use Linux's PATH_MAX of 
4096.

Till: it looks like foomatic-rip.c should really stop making any use of 
PATH_MAX and use dynamic memory allocation instead [0].

Till: unless you beat me to it, I'll try to bake a patch along these 
lines in the next days.

Cheers,
