Renamed cups/banners/* files and cups/data/testprint
to avoid a file conflict with CUPS which also provides those files.
Ghostscript 9.10 Release Candidate 1
is available from home:jsmeix:branches:Printing
CUPS 1.7 Release Candidate 1
is available from home:jsmeix
On my openSUSE 12.3 virtual machine (i586)

"zypper vcmp 9.07 9.pre10rc1" tells "9.07 is newer than 9.pre10rc1"
which is o.k. for me because it avoids an unintended overwrite

tells "9.10 is newer than 9.pre10rc1".
cups-filters-1.0.36
that requires additionally libqpdf13 (its source package is qpdf)
I disabled all lines in /etc/cups/pstotiff.convs
(strange file from HPLIP - I need to ask upstream what the
reason behind is - I guess it has something to do with faxing)
otherwise one gets weird filtering e.g. of PostScript input
via pstotiff and imagetopdf (printing works nevertheless).

Using "grep PID /var/log/ cups/error_ log" you can see what filters
are run by CUPS for each kind of print job data.
