Got it after upgrading to Linux Mint 14 Nadia (based on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal).
After executing "sudo apt-get install --reinstall printer-driver- gutenprint" and reconfiguring my printer now I get "stopped, Filter failed" upon every one of my print attempts. Currently I cannot print. Please mark this bug at least of High importance as it completely breaks printing upon system upgrades. This is exactly the kind of bug that drives newcomer Linux users away for life (and rightly so). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932882 Title: Update of a printer driver package does not update the PPD files of the existing queues for this driver Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gutenprint” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “cups” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “gutenprint” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “cups” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “gutenprint” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Bug description: I needed to print few tickets for travel. But as they did not appeared on my printer I took a look at http://localhost:631/ and discovered this: "The PPD version (5.2.7) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1." Had to print to PDF and do printing from MS Windows laptop... [Impact] Printers used with Gutenprint do not work for all users who update from an older Ubuntu version to Precise. [Test Case] To reproduce: Upgrade from Gutenprint 5.2.7 to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 does not update the PPD files of existing queues. To test, create a Gutenprint-based print queue on a system with 5.2.7 then run grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd and see that the PPD files are of Gutenprint version 5.2.7. Update to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 and run grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd The PPDs are still not upgraded. Update from 5.2.7 or 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2.1 and your PPD files get updated to 5.2.8pre1. [Regression Potential] Only change is the timestamp of one file. So regressions should not be possible.
