I upgraded from 15.0 to 15.1 a week ago (changing repo URLs and zypper dup). After that printing was OK
Yesterday I did a zypper up. I do not see any package there (from the History list in YaST > Software Managnment) connected to printing, but it is a rather long list and I do not claim to understand where all packeges are for.
Today prints are accepted by CUPS and stopped immediatly (they are in the queue and can be restarted). The printer makes no movement/noise whatsoever.
The general error shown is “Filter failed”.
I tried prints from Ocular (PDFs), Firefox (HTML pages), YaST printer configuration test print, and from a simple lp command.
Because the last one is the most simple and creates the smallest log:

Of course I tried to interprete the last line: marker supply low warning.
Which supply?
There is paper enough.
No red lights blinking that show ink catridges being empty.
Nevertheless I changes cartridges. The printer prints it’s automatic check file (thus the printer on itself seems to be OK).
I am out of ideas. Anybody an idea about what “filter” is the talking?
