The "unable to print" issue was solved when I installed print/cups-filters. I
can now print.
My thanks to Don Lewis for the tip on how to solve this.

For the record: I was using different HP inkjet printers with
FreeBSD for years, but printing via CUPS/hpijs stopped working
couple of months ago. Scanning via XSane still works though.
I did some pkg upgrades and "portmaster cups hplip sane",

I may have some clues why my cups-printing is broken. I have two real
printers and two virtual (PS/PDF) printers defined but none of them work.
The main printer used in diagnostic:
Printer: HP_LaserJet_2100tn with ps-level2
Driver: HP LaserJet 2100M Foomatic/Postscript (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
In all fairness, I have often found this type of "strange error" to be a
culmination of several different problems getting rolled into one symptom.

Yes, no wonder I couldn't find anything there. /var/log/cups/error_log is
the one that will contain the information. That is where the text about
what filter program is crashing will be. It is probably a missing library
somewhere.

No matter though, same result with file named
Hmm. I can't see any attempts to print in that log file. Perhaps I could
find it if you told me the name of the file you printed, or of the name of
the program you printed from.

@Robert
I ran poudriere for the installed cups* ports and did an upgrade. The
missing commandtops file was restored when upgrade installed cups-image (not
cups-filter), so that problem is resolved. Printing still fails though.
I have a Virtual-PDF printer defined in cups with Generic PPD. To simp
Hi Thomas,
In addition to your list I have cups-image installed, maybe that helps.

The printer is ps-capable, and the ppd file was installed by hplip (which

That port is 'cups-filters', which Beeblebrox already has.
You'll want to check the cups log file. First edit your
local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to enable logging, then try to print. That
will give you a huge amount of entries in the log file, but somewhere there
will be the name of the crashing

I reinstalled cups-base from the public FreeBSD repo rather than my poudriere
repo. The web interface has started working once more, but printing
continues to fail, with job state showing: "stopped - Filter failed".
Anyone per chance with insight into "filter failed" error? I have already
