Bug#1003389: cups: added printer causes "filter failed" and ghostscript errors



Package: cups
Version: 2.3.3op2-3+deb11u1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: hurschler@gmx.de

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   	Installing printer Samsung_SCX-4623 on a newly installed Bullseye system
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   	normal install using localhost:631 and the printers own ppd file  
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   	does not print, interface reports "Filter Failed" error
	logfile: GPL Ghostscript 9.53.3: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   	the printer to work

The workaround here: https://serverfault.com/questions/947646/cups-filter-failed-error
which entails downgrading ghostscript from Buster resolved the problem
for me
