Bug#883765: cups-client: Unsupported document-format "application/octet-stream".

[P V Mathew <mathewpv@gmail.com>]

Thanks for your prompt reply.
(1) The same error occurs for every printer chosen, even for PDF printer.
(2) Before update of Debian Buster yesterday every thing was ok.
(3) Firefox replies--Connection reset--- for localhost:631
(4) Tried removing and reinstalling cups in buster.
(5) Looks more like a Debian Buster problem as many other 
programs(icedove, file, man etc)
    are not working.
(6)as desired, output of lpstat -t is given below.
