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
  1. Own an EPSON L121 printer
  2. Setup using the web interface then choose EPSON L120 Series or system-config-printer(this should detect the appropriate driver from gutenprint automatically) .
  3. 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.
  4. 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”.
