It does not seem to be documented (e.g. pacman -Qi cups) but cups 1.5.3-3 requires ghostscript to be installed. This is a change for some of us who had not otherwise needed ghostscript. FYI

cups-filters optionally depends on ghostscript (just as cups 1.5.3-2 did).
This is not an optional dependance that I am talking about. When I tried to print from libreoffice via cups 1.5.3-3, cups failed because it called gs but I had no ghostscript installed. After installed gs, I print easily. So my experience is that gs is now a necessity to print through cups. T.
