HP CP1215 - CUPS not printing from Stretch to Jessie server.
I have an HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer attached to a Jessie server
via USB. I'm trying to print to it from Stretch workstation. This has
been failing for a long time now. It's not a new problem. I've tried
removing the printer and re-finding it many times without success.
I'm using the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Foomatic/foo2hp (recommended)
driver on both the server and my workstation. However when I try
printing anything from the workstation, it fails with a "Filter failed"
message. The message appears on the CUPS Jobs page on both the
workstation and server.
I can print directly from the server (e.g. test page using the CUPS
Printers page or lp from the command line) but not from my workstation.
I can print to another printer (Samsung C410) attached to the server,
also by USB, using the same protocol (dnssd:) and it works. The major
difference is that the it's using the Samsung C410 Series (color) driver.
The cups error log on the server isn't helpful. The first message that
it shows for a failing job is:
E [02/Jun/2017:14:17:27 -0400] [Job 2241] Job stopped due to filter
errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
Further down it shows these interesting messages:
