Sorry for the delay.
Unfortunately had to downgrade my desktop to Debian stretch. That is okay
now.
At least you are printing now.
Yes, from stretch.
We will try to improve on that.

The same errors occur on laptop(Debian Buster) also.  Hence, will send the
details.
Tried lp -d PDF a.ps. The subject error is printed again.
I am unable to reproduce this behaviour with printer-driver-cups-pdf.

The error_log remains empty.
Or this. Please try (as root)

   cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/PDF.ppd -m printer/foo -e /etc/services > 2>log > out.ps
log attached
Post log here.

The access_log remains empty.
The cups-pdf_log remains empty.
cupsd.conf is attached.
Your cupsd.conf worked for me.

also output of dpkg --get-selections |grep cups is attached.
Seems ok.

Do you have apparmor running?
Installed but not running.
No problem there, then.

Part of your log has

  DEBUG: envp[1]="CONTENT_TYPE=text/plain"

CUPS has identified the job as being a text file. All the filters
complete successfully and the output is a PostScript file. All is
well with the cupsfilters command - but now I am mystified.

cupsfilter does the same as CUPS except the final file is not sent
to a printer. 'lp -d <queue name> filename.ps' gives

  Unsupported document-format "application/octet-stream"
and this is an indication of CUPS being unable to MIME type the
submitted file. But it has MIME typed it with cupsfilter!

I can reproduce your observation of the error message by moving
mime.types out of /usr/share/cups/mime, but then cupsfilter fails
to run to completion. I cannot reproduce the empty error_log you
get; mine records the error. That's using my cupsd.conf.

I take a further look at the issue later today. Meanwhile you could
check that the files in /usr/share/cups/mime are what is in the
cups-core-drivers and cups-daemon packages.
Have checked files in /usr/share/cups/mime.
Other than cups-core-drivers and cups-daemon packages
there are some more files in the directory.
attaching listing of the directory.  Only issue is that some
.convs(cupsfilters-ghostscript, cupsfilters-mupdf, cupsfilters-poppler)
files do not have have the corresponding .types
files and command.types does not have any corresponding
command.convs.

Also the issue of connection getting reset on trying
http://localhost:631 stil remains. This will mean that
I will not be able to do any printer administration.

Mathew
