If you're using CUPS it's probably better to use cups-filters instead of foomatic-filters. Foomatic-filters is no longer developed and cups-filters contains a more recent version of foomatic-rip.
Created attachment 174182 [details] svn diff to fix reported problem and bump PORTREVISION Thanks. I've also bumped PORTREVISON and tested with poudriere [1]. [1] http://pkg.awarnach.mathstat.dal.ca/data/10amd64-default/2016-08-29_10h23m44s/logs/foomatic-filters-4.0.17_9.log
Tijl, what do you think about removing the port? I can post to ports@ to gauge if anyone has reasons to prefer print/foomatic-filters over print/cups-filters.

(In reply to Joseph Mingrone from comment #3) I would keep it for now. It can be used without CUPS, it's low maintenance and others are still shipping it too.
