I already had this port installed, but was forced to deinstall it again. It seems to
corrupt everything that worked before:

printing a testpage "works", but the print spits out a page with a cryptic set of chars
at the end of the page: %?

Printing from "gv" (some gnuplot scientif diagrams) is impossible, I get a white sheet,
if lucky - or nothing at all. This doesn't happen without print/cups-filters and
print/qpdf installed (both are installed, qpdf is a dependency for cups-filters as I see).

I use the print/hplip driver for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a) - this worked
perfectly before.

When deleting print/cups-filters and print/qpdf again, I can print from "gv" as well as
from xpdf again.

It is a mess!
