Details

Description:

After a full system update this morning, my printer ceased to respond to print jobs.

Cups reported the error message "Failed filter".

In the systemd logs I found this:
ANOM_ABEND auid=4294967295 uid=209 gid=209 ses=4294967295 pid=2597 comm="foomatic-rip" exe="/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" sig=11 res=1

The file foomatic-rip belongs to the package cups-filters and that package was indeed updated today (to version 1.21.0-1). After downgrading cups-filters to the previous version (1.20.4-2) the printer is responding normally again. I will file this with the package maintainer.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

I can confirm I had exactly the same problem with Brother HL-2240D Foomatic/hl1250

I was seeing this in my cups error_log:

(/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) crashed on signal 11.

Downgrading the package restored my printing abilities.

Can you bisect between 1.20.4 and 1.21.0 and find the causal commit?
722fee6ab541abd25699f9ed67f610612c857166 and fc6a67dfbfc7346e80bd48a0d6ddc858afcabcdf are the only direct changes to foomatic-rip.

@loqs - Found page on bisecting on the Arch Linux wiki. Will see how far I can get with that over the weekend.

@tyler: That's exactly the same error message that I get. As a result of that error my printer -- a trusted, over 15 years old Kyocera FS-1000 -- doesn't receive the job.

Looks like https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907026 - please help upstream to fix it.

using the attached PKGBUILD as I could not find one in AUR for cups-filters-git

cd cups-filters-git
makepkg -o
cd src/cups-filters
git checkout a46189488750ff150abd7168b2e882cdabba8da4 #this commit is used instead of 1.20.4 because it includes the patch for poppler 0.64.0
autoreconf -fi
cd ../..
makepkg -ersi #check this version works

cd cups-filters-git
cd src/cups-filters
git checkout release-1-21-0
autoreconf -fi
cd ../..
makepkg -ersi #check this version fails

cd cups-filters-git
cd src/cups-filters
git bisect start
git bisect good a46189488750ff150abd7168b2e882cdabba8da4
git bisect bad release-1-21-0
autoreconf -fi # [1]
cd ../..
makepkg -ersi #see if this version fails

cd cups-filters-git
cd src/cups-filters
git bisect $result #substitute good or bad for $result depending on result of last version repeat back to # [1] until git has found the bad commit
(application/x-gzip)    cups-filters-git-release.1.21... (1.5 KiB)
