I have updated several systems from Fedora 27 to Fedora 28 and since then I can not
print.
I did not found any related problems either on bugzilla for cups or cups-filters on in the
common
bugs for Fedora 28.
I have also used the nice pages at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems
to try to debug the problem.
I have cups and foomatic with debug enabled according to the instructions in the page
above.
I get something like this for foomatic debug, when trying to print the
/usr/share/cups/data/default-testpage.pdf:
Filetype: PDF
Storing temporary files in /var/spool/cups/tmp
File contains 1 pages

JCL: ESC%-12345X@PJL
<job data>
renderer exited with status 141
A filter used in addition to the renderer itself may have failed.Kid3 exit status: 1
Although the culprit seems to be kid3 (it is a recurrent problem in all my attempts) I
have no
idea what this filter is in order to better understand what is the problem.
