First I did

portmaster -t -f graphics/xpdf

Then rehash

Tried the following both as root and as myself

I had to add a user and number of copies to the command.

/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pdftops les 1 -paper A4 test.pdf

which results in the following

DEBUG: pdftops - copying to temp print file "/tmp/034c34e6e4d2f"

and it never exits. I have to stop with ctrl-c


the file is empty.

ll /tmp/034c34e6e4d2f
-rw-------  1 les  wheel  0 10 Sep 08:01 /tmp/034c34e6e4d2f

And my test file is

ll test.pdf
-rw-r--r--  1 les  les  30263 10 Sep 07:58 test.pdf

So what do you suggest I do now?
