The output should be at least a screenful of text. Do you still get your
previous output with

 cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series.ppd -m printer/foo /etc/nsswitch -e > out.prn ?

That is, don't direct the error output to a file but to the screen.

How about

 cupsfilter /etc/nsswitch > out.prn ?

That should give more than one line of output.

(Unable to determine MIME type of "/etc/nsswitch" is perturbing).
