The CUPS Filters package is only needed to adapt libcupsfilters-2.1.0 and libppd-2.1.0 filter functions for cups-2.x. It should not be needed for cups-3.x.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.
