Got it after upgrading to Linux Mint 14 Nadia (based on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal).
After executing "sudo apt-get install --reinstall printer-driver- gutenprint" and reconfiguring my printer now I get "stopped, Filter failed" upon every one of my print attempts. Currently I cannot print. Please mark this bug at least of High importance as it completely breaks printing upon system upgrades. This is exactly the kind of bug that drives newcomer Linux users away for life (and rightly so). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932882 Title: Update of a printer driver package does not update the PPD files of the existing queues for this driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/932882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
