Summary:                    CUPS printing of PDFs fails on Solaris 10
Description: 
When CUPS tries to execute pdftops, the program is not found. It does exist
in /opt/csw/lib/cups/filter/pdftops. And the log shows that it is
identified there. But I suspect it is not being called using the absolute
path. I tried simply creating a symlink in /bin to that file. But the error
was the same.

The same problem occurred on Solaris 11 using Oracle-built packages. I read
here (https://www.jmcpdotcom.com/blog/tag/pdftops/) that the solution was
to install evince (a PDF viewer) that includes a different version of
pdftops. Installing evince on Solaris 11 did solve the problem there. But I
cannot get CSWevince installed on Solaris 10 to test. (I'll submit a
separate report for that).
