Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installing printer Samsung_SCX-4623 on a newly installed Bullseye system
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
normal install using localhost:631 and the printers own ppd file
* What was the outcome of this action?
does not print, interface reports "Filter Failed" error
logfile: GPL Ghostscript 9.53.3: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
* What outcome did you expect instead?
the printer to work
The workaround here:
https://serverfault.com/questions/947646/cups-filter-failed-error
which entails downgrading ghostscript from Buster resolved the problem
for me

Thank you for your report, Chris.
I imagine you are using Samsung's ULD. It has been the Printing
Team's policy for some time not to deal with bugs that involve
non-free drives or packages that are not distributed by Debian.
Hence closing.
Regards,
Brian.
