Hi,
Similar problem seems to happen with foomatic/pxlcolor for C2550 (Canon
imageRunner iRC2380i), reported as cups-filters#941580.
Error message printed is now
PCL XL Error
Subsystem: IMAGE
Error: ExtraData
Operator: ReadImage
Position: 876

info.
I am resssigning #941580 to ghostscript and merging it into #941864.
