Re: Should cups and foomatic-filters conflict with each other?
foomatic-filters is indeed obsolete. foomatic-rip in a CUPS-only version
is now in cups-filters which is required by cups. So you should simply
remove foomatic-filters from the tasks, its functionality is included in
cups-filters now.
foomatic-filters is only useful for legacy non-CUPS print environments
(LPRng? Is this still maintained?). foomatic-filters is not developed
upstream any more.
