Message received when printing

When I attempt to print to my Brother printer, the cups queue says the following for each print job (instead of printing):

 Use "pdftops-renderer" option (see README file) to use Ghostscript or MuPDF for the PDF -> PostScript conversion 

Can someone point me in the right direction where I can set the options for pdftops-renderer as it suggests? I have no idea what readme it's referring to either.

That's a warning and unlikely to impede the print.

Re: Message received when printing

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it does fail to print and the printer itself is listed as only having partial support on the openprinting website. I was hoping maybe this option would help.

Nevermind, I found this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1805109

Doing that as well as installing the AUR package specifically for my printer seems to have sorted it.
