I was never very clear on why it was introduced in the first place, honestly. Yes, probably foomatic is the easiest place to put this. I want to say that automatic printer driver installation obsoletes it, but there isn't really a single package that embodies that feature. printer-filters is just a metapackage which requires several other packages that we deprecated too. Simply removing printer-filters does not remove them so we should Obsolete & Provide them too. These are the last builds of them in koji: c2050-0.3b-7.fc19 c2070-0.99-10.fc19 cjet-0.8.9-12.fc18 lx-20030328-9.fc19 pbm2l2030-1.4-10.fc19 pbm2l7k-990321-11.fc19 Hi, (In reply to Jiri Popelka from comment #2) > printer-filters is just a metapackage which requires several other packages > that we deprecated too.

Unless we know the old versions will break anyways, I believe it is best to just leave these around for manual cleanup.
