I just spent 2 days working on a problem I have had for a few years. My laptop Fedora system CUPS client would not use the Fedora Desktop CUPS print server. It finally boiled down to the laptop was configured as a local printer using a network socket via IPP protocol. I searched the web for "filter failed", the error I got on the server. I got many responses. I tried this "solution" and that "solution" until I landed upon this page: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010580. Where I found the following:
Tim Waugh 2013-09-25 06:07:38 EDT It shouldn't have a driver at all. It needs to be a raw queue. Try adjusting the queue like this: lpadmin -p HP-deskJet_930C -m raw Does that work? I substituted Photosmart_C3100, my queue name, and finally was able to print a test page. I am writing this email so that some other poor soul trying to use the CUPS configuration website for printing does not have to suffer through what I have. The lesson is that a queue on a print client to a print server does not need the printer's driver. It needs to be the to be a "raw" queue. When I think about that, I just have to say, "duh".
