Can not print anymore after latest cups+libcups upgrade (2.0.2-3)

Hi there!

I have a Samsung ML-2165w usb printer, using it with the samsung-unified-driver package... it was working ok but today it just do not print anything, neither show any error...
It is like the print job is sent to nowhere... I print something and localhost:631 jobs tab is always empty...

I have tried to roll back, downgrade, to cups+licups previous versions 2.0.2-1 (restarting service + daemon-reload) but without luck, the same behavior!....

Where can I see the printer errorlog, or something else?
What to check?

BTW, the virtual pdf printer do not work too? there is no pdf made as usual...
it should be in /var/spool/cups-pdf/username, right?

You can access the error log from localhost:631, the administration tab. Try printing from the command line using 'lp' to see if you get any information from that. Post the status of the service also.

edit: usually /var/log/cups/error_log if not using the web interface

Oh, lets see......

Here the cups errorlog:

E [25/Mar/2015:09:31:26 -0300] [Client 37] Returning IPP client-error-attributes-or-values-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/Samsung_ML-2160_Series) from localhost
E [25/Mar/2015:09:32:03 -0300] [Client 60] Returning IPP client-error-attributes-or-values-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/Virtual_PDF_Printer) from localhost

Ohhhh, tried to print a test page, from the cups administration... and it was printed!
Then tried to print a text file and printed!

Then tried to print the page I needed in chromium instead firefox....... and it was printed!

The issue is present in firefox then?

Should I downgrade firefox-36.0.4-1?
