beginner, you are.
as pointed out by others, you are jumping thru a lot of hoops to
remove the .msf files.
their solutions work, yet there is a much easier way than was posted
in replies.

did you run 'find' as a user or as root user?

before you blame fedora 24, did you search cups.org for similar error?
like;
[cups] Only able to print from CUPS web interface ("filter failed" error
otherwise)
http://www.cups.org/pipermail/cups/2014-November/026535.html
there are many other postings of 'filter failed', above is just 1 that
i picked at random.
also, do you have correct '.ppd' installed for your printer?

Couple dollars for a button battery > will have you right. > ---> imbw, but, if battery is too weak to hold clock settings, reversion would be further than a few days. even if there is a cap holding cmos v. to prove or disprove, if op is interested is to pull mains for several minutes, then boot to bios and check clock. no need for a full system power up. if clock is correct, not battery. if off by days, may be battery. iirc, lithium cells and batteries should maintain level voltage over around 3 years of load rating. after that time, voltage drops at a sharp rate. i have seen lithium cmos batteries last over 5 years, but that was just to see how long they would last. i normally leave a system up 24/7/365 and only power down for service or hardware change. running systems on apc ups makes for safe operation because of ups feed back to system. about 6 years ago, area lost utility mains and i ran home with a 40Kw generator. i had to reset low voltage levels of ups so it would not cycle to batteries when generator dropped in output. some info on cmos and lithium batteries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_battery -- peace out.
