Thank you. I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I am not sure my reply the first time got posted.
I also apologize for my ignorance, but I had built and installed the CUPS 1.6.1 tarball before trying to build the cups-filters. Is not the tarball, the CUPS sources? Do I need to do something different, other than building CUPS out of the tarball? Do the cups-filters have to be within the working directory from which I build CUPS?

Thank you.
