New issue by MagicRB on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/19017

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname: Void 5.4.18_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrrmmnFFFF
* package:  CUPS 2.3.1 

### Expected behavior

Being able to use `lp` to print a pdf directly

### Actual behavior

`lp` says pdfs are not suported
`lpr: Unsupported document-format "application/pdf".`

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Install CUPS, attempt to print a pdf using the `lp` command line utility

### Solution

From what I read adding the `--enable-pdftops` to CUPS configure script should solve this problem.

Comment:
i added cups-pdf some time ago, does that suit you?
if cups is capable on its own, then cups-pdf is obsolete. i'll look into this

I stumbled upon an arch thread where they were discussing exactly this, when I get home I'll find it

Found it, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70393 . also cups is refusing to print a PDF, I'm thinking these two things might be related

Comment:
that info is long outdated, current cups' configure doesn't have an option called `--enable-pdftops`.
My findins show however that `pdftops` is part of `cups-filters`, maybe your setup lacks that package?

Comment:
Might be true, though I no longer use void linux, I switched away when the repos died, or at least they died on all my computers. I'll be reinstalling soon, so I'll give void a try once again
