Yes, but it looked cups couldn't find it.
$ LANG=C ls -l /usr/lib/cups/driver/fujixerox

It is connected with WiFi (is this correct english?
Wireless network?). But I know it is something like
"socket://id numbers"
(For security reason, I stopped to open WSD and Bonjour port
of the printer.)

It looked okay perhaps
$ LANG=C sudo cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/fuji.ppd -m printer/foo -e --list-filters /etc/nsswitch
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopjlfx" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdffx" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).
cupsfilter: Unable to determine MIME type of "/etc/nsswitch".
(but the last line again)
However with another test file,
$ LANG=C sudo cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/fuji.ppd -m printer/foo -e --list-filters ./test.html
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopjlfx" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdffx" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).
cupsfilter: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops" permissions OK (040755/uid=0/gid=0).

I test with web interface and print test page, it works fine!
Thanks for your valuable help and advice.
I don't know why web interface didn't work correctly
(for me?) and there is really no problem with cups 2.2.5
but, at least, my problem is fixed in fact now.
Thanks again
