 and after mostly following the steps outlined in:

 https://rickvanderzwet.nl/trac/personal/wiki/XeroxPhaser6125N

 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems

 I can see the printer fine both while using cups going: localhost:631
and in libreoffice and okular, but the printer doesn't actually print.
The message that I see in cups is: State: stopped "Filter failed"
~
 A google search a less than 5 sinvoll hits which weren't really helpful.

 WOuld you suggest a good guideline about how to troubleshoot printers?

A complete error_log is needed. The Printing section of the wiki should
help you get one.

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.

 Perhaps you will be able to see something I don't. If not let me know
how could do whatever you need with the debug levels or log file in a
better way

Two filters are executed:

1. pstops

Is CUPS internal and included in Debian package "cups-core-drivers" at my
side (running Debian buster).

2. /usr/lib/cups/filter/FXM_PF

Not known by me. Is the file present? Is it executable? Does it fail, if
you execute it?

I've the feeling this is the culprint, you want to work on.

Regards,
	Klaus.

 I checked both and it doesn't seem to be the case, but I really can't tell.

It's 32bit and outdated. 

Debian Buster usually installs 64bit Packages. Though 32bit can be
installed, but aren't by default.

To find out, if the filter works: can you execute it?

	Klaus.

Please name the package you installed and give a link to where you
downloaded it from.

I don't experience a failure of either filter. Both work flawlessly
for me.

I meant the Debian wiki:

  https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDebugging#errorlog

Compress the error_log before sending it here.

The filter is just your output piped to a program to convert it to 
another format etc. Like pdf something your printer can print like 
postscript.

Or things might have changed but I hope this helps
