The CUPS Filters package is only needed to adapt libcupsfilters-2.0.0 and libppd-2.0.0 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.

Install CUPS Filters by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --disable-avahi \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/cups-filters-2.0.0 && make
This package does not come with a functional test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--disable-avahi
: This
switch should be given even if Avahi is installed. This is needed due to a
flaw in the configure script of CUPS
Filters, where it will bail out if Avahi is not installed. Note though that Avahi
is not used by this package. If you need network discovery
capabilities, install cups-browsed-2.0.0.
