Describe the bug Try to compile cups-filters

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. on Debian stable system
2. download wget https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/releases/download/2.0.0/cups-filters-2.0.0.tar.gz
3. unpack
4. ./configure
5. make
6. doesn't work, because the file ieee1284.h does not exist, but will be included

Additional context try to confirm that my bug https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/560 with a newer cups-filter version.. (can confirm that also happens with the latest cups)

Do you have libcupsfilters package installed? Version 2.0.0 forked cups-filters into five different projects - libcupsfilters, libppd, cups-browsed, cups-filters and braille-printer-app - you might be missing the dependency, here it should be libcupsfilters.

[colttt]

it's already installed:

apt search libcupsfilters
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
libcupsfilters-dev/stable,now 1.28.17-3 amd64 [installed]
  OpenPrinting CUPS Filters - Development files for the library

libcupsfilters1/stable,now 1.28.17-3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  OpenPrinting CUPS Filters - Shared library

[tillkamppeter]

This is the wrong version of libcupsfilters. For building the current version of cups-filters you need libcupsfilters2 (libcupsfilters 2.x).

OMG what a dependency hell..

I was able to resolve this issue. By installing libcupsfilters2 from Link: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/pst/libcupsfilters.html also the required dependency.

Both of the above errors can be also solved by installing libcupsfilters2 and libcupsfilter2-common "sudo apt-get install libcupsfilters2 libcupsfilters2-common" But libcupsfilters2 can not be installed by apt in <=Ubuntu22.04.3 LTS. I have installed it in Ubuntu23.10 and it worked . Thanks , I hope this will solve the issue for everyone , whoever facing this problem.
