but foomatic-rip is started and that message is from foomatic-rip.
In the cups-filters sources there is in
filter/foomatic-rip/foomaticrip.c
-------------------------------------------------------------------
_log("Driver does not understand PDF input, "
"converting to PostScript\n");

I.e. it is using foomatic-rip but not in the traditional way
as you probably expect it.
