[SOLVED?] Firefox won't print: "Filter failed"

I've been able to print fine with Firefox in the past. Recently, it stopped working with the error "filter failed". Printing from other programs still works fine.

I've previously had gtk3-print-backends installed, which solved this, but I can no longer find this package in the repos or AUR. I have no record of uninstallling it in my pacman logs, so I'm not sure what happened here.

The following is probably superfluous, but here is some more information. I'm printing to a networked HP LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw. Here is the log from /var/log/cups/error_log

I checked the wiki page. I have the following packages installed: ghostscript gutenprint hplip. I connect by raw IP address, so I don't need avahi. My local hard drive is not empty.

I've also tried the following.
* Installing foomatic-db foomatic-db-ppds (previously not needed)
* Installing hplip-plugin (previously not needed)
* Reinstalling cups cups-filters libcups lib32-libcups
* Restarting the systemd services: cups-browsed.service and org.cups.cupsd.service
* Re-adding the printer in CUPS, again using the driver: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 Postscript (recommended).

Re: [SOLVED?] Firefox won't print: "Filter failed"

Thanks jasonwryan, that explains some of it. gtk3 is a dependency of firefox, so I do have that installed as well. I guess my issue relates to something else then.

=EDIT=
And Firefox spontaneously started working again. No idea why, perhaps a recent update.

Re: [SOLVED?] Firefox won't print: "Filter failed"

The log you posted doesn't include any useful information - I'd expect many more lines for [Job 33]. Is that a truncated or filtered logs? What is logged if you delete that file, recreate the printer, and try to print again?
A filter failed error is caused by one of the programs used for conversion or sending the file to the printer failing, so it might be worthwhile trying to print some different files and seeing whether any work.

That was the raw log.

As per my previous comment's edit, it's working fine now, so I can't really try that. I'll keep it in mind for next time.

Ah right. Thank you for that information. I did try printing a few different Firefox pages, including on two different Arch computers, but they all failed.
