For me it looks like your printer is correctly installed regarding
hardware connection, but no guaranty.

The more interesting question is: why does the Filter fail?

Maybe the filter, which is defined in the printer PPD file, has wrong
permissions or is missing?

Have a closer look at /var/log/cups/error_log

Maybe you've to enable Loglevel "info" or "debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
before, followed by a "systemctl restart cups":
	LogLevel info

Regards,
	Klaus.
