After a full system update this morning, my Kyocera FS-1000 laser printer ceased to receive print jobs.
Cups reported the error message "Failed filter".
In the systemd logs I found this:
ANOM_ABEND auid=4294967295 uid=209 gid=209 ses=4294967295 pid=2597 comm="foomatic-rip" exe="/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" sig=11 res=1
The file foomatic-rip belongs to the package cups-filters and that package was indeed updated today (to version 1.21.0-1). After downgrading cups-filters to the previous version (1.20.4-2) the printer is responding normally again. I will file this with the package maintainer.
Update: I filed the bug on the Arch Linux bug tracker. It quickly became clear that this was an upstream issue and I filed the bug on the appropriate Github page. All in all, a new version of the cups-filters package was available within two days after I reported the issue, thanks to the help of several people, both in the Arch Linux community and at openprinting.org. After upgrading to cups-filters 1.21.1-1 my printer could again receive print commands and everything works fine again. I am grateful for the helpful spirit in which the issue was quickly and efficiently solved.
