hello,
I use two printers, an HP4630 & Xerox 6655, both on networks.
They have been in use with no issues from F24 upgraded to F25. Now with F25 upgraded to F26 there are some issues.
The machine is Thinkpad x260, running with Gnome desktop (3.24.2-1).
uname -a: Linux rwells-x260 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 16:32:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The HP 4630 has been set up using the HP Device Manager which recognizes it as expected. No problem printing a test page from within HPDM However within the "Printers" application available from Gnome "All Settings" the 4630 "Printer Details" shows the printer address as "localhost" (even though Cups shows the correct address) and any attempt to print from an application, e.g. LibreOffite Writer fails. The job is listed as "Stopped" and has to eventually be removed from the queue. A side note: XSane has no problem using the scanner component of the same device just as it did before the upgrades.
The Xerox 6655 printer appears with the correct IP address in the "All Settings/Printers/Printer" dialog and any print job remains in the Job list as "Stopped" just as in the case of the HP4630. However in this case the job is sent to the printer. After it prints it must be manually removed from the job list.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it is related to this bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1478537

It sure sounds like it. Thanks. I'll wait for the next release referenced in the link and let you know.

That was quick. dnf update qpdf-libs and the Xerox printer works as before I need to wait on the Hp until I get home. If there is a problem there I will report it otherwise silence. thanks

dnf downgrade qpdf
It's most probably related to a newly introduced flaw in the pdftopdf filter.

It has already been fixed in qpdf-libs-6.0.0-7

Confirming. I also ran into this problem and ran into this thread. I can confirm that the latest qpdf from the repoes does, in fact, fix my (this) problem with printing to both of my printers.

For me, none of those versions works, up to 6.0.0.10. "Filter failed".
Allegedly, on or about 11 August 2017, Wells, Roger K. sent:

I'm wondering if now (referring to later messages in the thread) that you've got printing working again, do you still see erroneous printer addresses listed?
On my Fedora 26 system, CUPS is stuffing up, and I see that the information listed about each printer is wrong. For example. I see this:
---------------------------+--------- Queue name: steamy Description: HP LaserJet P3015 Location: print.lan.example.com (Port: 631) Make and model: Remote printer: HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 Status: Idle ---------------------------+---------
But "location" should actually be showing the location information that I've set into CUPs (the name of the room the printer is sitting in), not the network address of the printer. What it's doing is the wrong use of the location field. Location is human information for users to be able to locate the right printer to get their prints from.
And the "Make and Model" should really be a description of the printer, too, not the driver info. Though that is what the CUPS server (a very old installation) does say on its own page.
The old CUPS' server page says this:
------------------------------------- steamy HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 Description: HP LaserJet P3015 Location: dining room Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs. "Unable to locate printer 'steamy' - Unknown host" Device URI: socket://steamy -------------------------------------
The printer *is* switched off, at the moment, and has been off for sufficient time for my network to abandon it. It's address is doled out by the DHCP server, which automatically reprograms my DNS server as addresses change. Hence the warning notice.
"steamy" is it's hostname, and what I called the print queue for it. It got so named because the first time I tried printing with it, someone had left damp paper in the hopper. The first test prints came amount with an amusingly large amount of white smoke, that turned out to be water vapour. It looked like the magic puff of smoke you'd see a conjurer use.
