While the last post was in 05/2019, this Ubuntu page on launchpad is
still relevant for Debian users, as conservative Debian is several
versions behind most distros. I am encountering this compatibility issue
between cups-filters 1.21.6-5 amd64 and ghostscript 9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u4
amd64 since 11/2020, i.e., since GS was upgraded (possibly a regression
error, since 1.21 was supposed to have fixed a previous 'filters failed'
error.)
Debian does not appear to support specifying downgraded package
versions.
~$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript=9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u1

This issue appears to cross multiple printer series -- I am using an HP-
Deskjet-1112, and am unable to apply selective page printing for double-
sided results on a single-function printer (e.g., printing ODD pages,
flip-reloading and then printing EVEN pages.) This is for work schedule
charts, so it's not trivial to me.
If anyone can provide a workaround, I'd greatly appreciate it if you can
provide specific instructions. Thanks all, for reading.
