I had a "filter failed" problem too in Debian 8 and solved it by
installing newer ghostscript package from Debian testing. This bug
report looks familiar:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848876

In case you want to try that and you are using Debian 8 you could
proceed with this:

 1. Add Debian testing repository to /etc/apt/sources.list file:

        deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main

 2. Run: apt update

 3. Run: apt install ghostscript/testing

 4. Remove the "deb" line from sources.list file.

 5. Run: apt update
