            Bug ID: 258540
           Summary: cups-filters port is missing pdftoraster required for
                    printing to Brother MFC-J4510DW inkjet printer
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: David.Boyd49@twc.com

Customer wishes to deploy FreeBSD workstations and servers throughout his
enterprise.  Things are going well...except for printing.

Customer has many Debian, Fedora, openSUSE (Leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed and Ce=
ntOS
desktops, but most of his servers and some workstations are FreeBSD (12.2 a=
nd
13.0).

CUPS driverless printing is the standard throughout.

When attempting print a "Test Page" from system-config-printer, the CUPS web
application or from the command line using lpr
/usr/local/share/cups/data/testprint, the CUPS error log accumulates many l=
ines
of:

        [Job nn] Filter pdftoraster missing for \"output-format=3Dapple-ras=
ter\"
        [Job nn] Print job was not accepted.
        [Job nn] Backend returned status 7 (retry job immediately)

This sequence is repeated until the job is removed from the print queue.

This same problem occurs when attempting to print from LibreOffice writer.

Attempting to print an ascii file (e.g. /etc/hosts) is successful.

No modifications of the CUPS software have been made to any of the systems
under test.  All testing is performed exactly the same on each platform.
