Lo and behold, pdftops-renderer=pdftocairo now appears in the report from lpoptions, "cairo" appears in the creator field reported by pdfinfo, and the PDF file contains searchable text. 2. BEFORE removing and reinstalling, I checked dpkg -l, which reported: ii printer-driver-cups-pdf 3.0.1-5 amd64 printer driver for PDF writing via CUPS And I also checked /var/log/dpkg.log, which included this line from yesterday: 2019-05-09 16:26:18 status installed printer-driver-cups-pdf:amd64 3.0.1-5 I saw nothing in the log that suggested that the original installation failed. I have no idea why the new print queue including the pdftops-renderer=pdftocairo option was not established, as expected, during the original installation, by the printer-driver-cups-pdf.postinst script. I wonder if, somehow, the old PDF queue was not fully removed when I removed the old printer-driver-cups-pdf (2.6.1-22) package. Anyhow, thanks for the help. Best regards, --Neil Ormos
