                          System: Debian 12.

I get an error message in CUPS after having installed a PPD file (from Settings > Printers). 

Here is the message:

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

I have the same message with another printer after installing the driver.

If I don't install the PPD files, I don't get the error message, and printing succeeds… but of course, I don't benefit from the options of the driver.

The same PPD files worked fine on Debian 10.

Edit (thanks a lot, @thecarpy): here are some logs that seem to me more relevant:

    W [25/Feb/2025:08:18:59 +0100] Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS. See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/103
