CUPS and poppler

[nightflier]

Printer on USB local port: When trying to print I get an error: "error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.43"

/usr/lib/libpoppler.so.55.0.0 exists. If I create a symlink to it named libpoppler.so.43, printing works.

Cups update to 2.1.3. See #83

[Moises Henriquez]

Please try updating cups to version 2.1.3 from 7.2 untested and see if the problem persists.

[nightflier]

Upgraded cups to 2.1.3. Problem persists, it is looking for the wrong version of libpoppler.

[Moises Henriquez]

Ok. This is not exactly cups, but something cups depends on is trying to access an older poppler version. That package most likely needs to be re-built against the newer poppler version.

Okay, this error shows in "/var/log/cups/error_log". Line above the error references "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp". Will keep looking.

[Moises Henriquez]

That /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp is provided by hplip, but I just checked it, and it does not look like it is looking for any version of poppler.

Beats the hell out of me, re-installed, created symlink, things work. Removed symlink and it still works, even after reboot. Enough of this for today.

Another day, another test. This time I rebooted after upgrading cups. It is working. Call it fixed.

[nightflier]

Upgrade cups + reboot fixed it for me.
