Hi,
I'm trying to print a test page to my new network printer (HP Laserjet
Pro MFP 126nw) but it keeps failing with the message: stopped "Filter
failed".
systemctl says I should look in /var/log/cups/error_log for more
details, but my error_log is empty, and the last modified time is from
last year! So I changed LogLevel to debug in cupsd.conf and restarted
the service. This prints all sorts of debug messages to the journal,
although none to error_log. Strangely enough, the journal still says:
[Job 325] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log
file for details.
I have checked all the "common cures" I found on the Internet, size of
/var/spool/cups (<700k for me), device permissions (doesn't apply as I'm
printing over the network). I have always printed over the network (to
other printers), so I'm not sure what is going wrong this time.
Any thoughts what is the problem? Any ideas I could try?
How did you install the printer? Looking here

suggests "This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in"
