Hi,
I'm trying to print a test page to my new network printer (HP Laserjet Pro MFP 126nw) but it keeps failing with the message: stopped "Filter failed".
systemctl says I should look in /var/log/cups/error_log for more details, but my error_log is empty, and the last modified time is from last year! So I changed LogLevel to debug in cupsd.conf and restarted the service. This prints all sorts of debug messages to the journal, although none to error_log. Strangely enough, the journal still says: [Job 325] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
I have checked all the "common cures" I found on the Internet, size of /var/spool/cups (<700k for me), device permissions (doesn't apply as I'm printing over the network). I have always printed over the network (to other printers), so I'm not sure what is going wrong this time.
Any thoughts what is the problem? Any ideas I could try?
TIA,

How did you install the printer? Looking here

suggests "This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in"

I used the standard Fedora gui interface to find the printer on my network, choose IPP, and follow all the prompts to find the printer make and model, and said yes to the recommended driver, screenshot here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37474389/add_HP_LJP_MFP_126nw.png
My understanding was the fedora gui knows how to download any blobs necessary for known printers in the database.
Am I missing something?

I believe it will theoretically, but network printers seem to work differently. At the terminal, as root, try typing: # hp-plugin -i
This should walk you through downloading and installing the binary plugin required by HP printers.

Okay, I did that. I restarted cups to make sure the plugins are loaded properly. Now printing a test page tells me this:
processing since Thu 03 Dec 2015 05:41:19 PM IST "The printer is in use."
What does that mean?

You could go kill a/any "jobs" stuck waiting in the queue. Web interface http://localhost:631/

It started printing after I restarted my computer today. I guess that cleared the queue. I guess the solution for me was installing all the plugins as Jon suggested, and clearing the queue. Strangely, when printing a test page, it prints 2 copies. Although when printing files, it prints one. I can live with that.
Thanks everyone!
