[arch-general] CUPS : can't get driver list since last update
Hello, When installing a new printer via cups's web interface, the process blocks with an error message close to 'can't get driver list'. At the same time, cupsd and foomatic processes consume 25% CPU resources each. This is reproducible on two different hosts. Downgrading cups and/or cups-filters yields the same result. Some printers stop working with the error message 'filter failed'. Cups seems broken since last upgrade (today on one host, 2 or 3 weeks before on the second host). Please consider a fix. Thx.
