Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.1.21_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFFF
Package(s) Affected
gutenprint-5.3.4_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
My printer EPSON L121 should work after installing gutenprint, instead it shows stopped "Filter failed" in cups' web interface.
Actual behaviour
Web interface tells: 'stopped "Filter failed"'.
Steps to reproduce
- Own an EPSON L121 printer
- Setup using the web interface then choose EPSON L120 Series or
system-config-printer(this should detect the appropriate driver fromgutenprintautomatically) . - I think this line's the culprit
D [20/Apr/2023:07:24:12 +0800] [Job 25] PID 6869 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.3) crashed on signal 6. - Just close if you guys think this is on
gutenprint. Just tell me if you need more info.

Research direction
Start with the CUPS job log and the reported /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.3 crash, using the linked Pastebin output and the EPSON L121 reproduction steps. Check the gutenprint-5.3.4_1 package and determine whether the filter can be reproduced without crashing; done means the printer job completes instead of showing “Filter failed”.
