[SOLVED] Broken hplip-3.17.11-1 upgrade

My HP Deskjet Ink 4615 fails to print upon upgrading from hplip-3.17.10-2 to 3.17.11-1.
Cups informs "Filter failed".
Downgrading solves the problem.
I am running current linux-4.14.4-1, systemd-235.38-2, cups-2.2.6-1 and cups-filters-1.17.9-3.

I recall experiencing similar issue around the time of kernel 3.7. The problem disappeared
after a subsequent upgrade of the hplip package. Thou my printer was even older by that
occasion.

Best regards.

Great! Ought to be that.
Compilation option "--enable-hpijs-install" should be missing in
version 3.17.11-1 of the package.

I have created a new printer setup in cups with hpcups driver, instead of hpijs.
Now the printer seems to be working fine.

Thank you very much for the tip.

Don't use Closed, it denotes a locked thread. Use solved instead.
