To late!

I returned the printer for another, namely

    HP LaserJet P1102w

This I added with

    $ sudo lpadmin -p laser -E -v 'usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P%201102w?serial=000000000W470T1FPR1a' -P /usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_professional_p1102w-hpijs.ppd

and

    $ lpstat -p

says

    printer laser is idle.  enabled since Wed 22 Jun 2016 16:41:19 CEST

But when I print with

    $ lpr -P laser TEXT_FILE

I get

   printer laser now printing laser-528.  enabled since Wed 22 Jun 2016 16:42:55 CEST
	Filter failed

What now?
