--- Comment #5 from James B. Byrne <byrnejb at harte-lyne.ca> ---
This issue is the result of the switch to CUPS-PDF v3.   The work-around that
was eventually discovered was to forcibly re-install all the components of the
CUPS update from July 2019. Lock those packages. Then forcibly re-install all
the current packages to the latest version. Finally, run autoremove. This
cleared the issue for me.

The packages that I used were:

pkg add -f /var/cache/pkg/ghostscript9-agpl-base-9.27_2.txz
pkg add -f /var/cache/pkg/cups-2.2.11.txz
pkg add -f /var/cache/pkg/cups-filters-1.25.0.txz
pkg add -f /var/cache/pkg/cups-pdf-2.6.1_4.txz
pkg add -f /var/cache/pkg/qpdf-8.4.2.txz


There were more recent pkg updates available that predated the change to
cups-pdf but these I was sure of.
