new package cups-filters for openSUSE:Factory. cups-filters is required since Ghostscript version 9.10 that is already in openSUSE:Factory. Since Ghostscript version 9.10 the CUPS filters gstoraster and gstopxl have been removed from Ghostscript and are now provided by its cups-filters-ghostscript sub-package. In particular gstoraster is required by printer drivers like HPCUPS (in HPLIP), gutenprint, and others that use the Ghostscript driver cups to produce CUPS raster data. Only cups-filters-ghostscript works with CUPS < 1.6. The cups-filters main package has a RPM conflict with cups < 1.6 because cups-filters provides files that are also provided in CUPS up to version 1.5.4. Additionally there is a sub-package cups-filters-devel that conflicts with cups-devel < 1.6.

1.28.12 is seriously broken. Two issues were fixed in 1.28.14:

-- pdftopdf: Correct the output when suppressing auto-rotation (option "nopdfAutoRotate"). Depending on the situation pages got cropped in the wrong orientation or de-centered. -- pdftopdf: Correct the output when the "orientation-requested" or the "landscape" option is supplied. Output could be de-centered (Issue #456), portrait-oriented pages be wrongly cropped and division of the output page into cells for N-up done in the wrong orientation.

It affects not only pdf printing but also applications like WPS Office. I had to revert to 1.28.8 to get printing working again.

Latest version from github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters is 1.28.15

@therapon, I would appreciate if you could validate the 1.28.25 packages from the submit request.
