I chose /etc/nsswitch because it is a *small* ASCII text file and any output would not be too large to send here. Try the cupsfilter commands with /etc/services or any other text file. Also try PDFs. -- Brian.

I had a "filter failed" problem too in Debian 8 and solved it by
installing newer ghostscript package from Debian testing. This bug
report looks familiar:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848876
In case you want to try that and you are using Debian 8 you could
proceed with this:
1. Add Debian testing repository to /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main
2. Run: apt update
3. Run: apt install ghostscript/testing
4. Remove the "deb" line from sources.list file.
5. Run: apt update

So I don't think testing woul do do any better... Rodolfo
