Description

From Ken on blfs-dev:

A few days ago somebody on a TL list reported that printing with
LuaLaTeX was now proken, although apparently working in pdflatex.
I was  able to point him to a similar issue at Arch (he was on
Endeavor and did not know when printing had lst worked).

Turns out this is a Cairo-1.18.2 problem, and there is now a patch.
See the end of
 https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/cairo/-/issues/2
where the patch has been tested but could not be uploaded to Arch
because of perms.

I'm merely reporting this because I don't yet have a 12.2 system,
which anyway would still be on 1.18.0, and nor do I have a printer.
But ISTR that one editor uses LuaLaTeX and might perhaps have a need
for hardcopy at some point.

Note that this seems to affect Evince as well when printing certain PDFs. The error message shows up as "universal filter failed"

I do use lualatex but I don't use cups (when I need to print something I copy it to the Windoge machine in the office...)
