[SOLVED] "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoqpdl failed"

I have a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer and it stopped printing a couple of days ago, probably after a upgrade.

Searching for the problem gave me a lot of Ubuntu specific issues with splix, I'm still going through the list but it seems like this might be a general bug in splix.

To reproduce:
http://localhost:631
Add you Samsung printer, try and print a test page and this error will show up under "state"

stopped 
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoqpdl failed"

/var/log/cups/error_log have this:

E [04/Dec/2009:11:51:08 +0200] [Job 76] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details.

Anyone else have this problem before I open a bug report?

Cups: cups 1.4.2-2
Splix: splix 2.0.0-1

There is no ML-1610 gutenprint driver.

The closest is ML-1630.

I have tried another driver I found on the net, but it now seems to be a CUPS problem, but if I downgrade cups I run into dependency problems.

/etc/rc.d/cups restart
:: Stopping CUPS Daemon                                                                                                                                         [DONE]
:: Starting CUPS Daemon                                                                                                                                         [BUSY] 
/usr/sbin/cupsd: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
                                                                                                                                                                [FAIL]

I did find a couple of threads on this problem, but I do not know if it is the way forward to try and force a downgrade?

be sure that all packages are up to date. especially cups. you have to have 1.4.2-2

@sjakub splix was rebuilt against heimdal 1.3

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
