Hi,
I have a server under Debian 8 with a HP PSC 2350 series connected on USB port.
For allow printing on the others computers on my network, I shared the printer with a CUPS server.
So, I can print perfectly with my laptop on Debian 8 (detecting, installing and configuring automatically the remote printer via CUPS). Nice !
But with my other laptop on FreeBSD 11.0 x64, nothing works automatically. I have installed and configured the remote printer on my CUPS client. So I can see his status and send document to print. But print a testing page (or any doc) does not work. This error is returned: Filter failed (both on client and server).
I followed this https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/ to configure my CUPS client on my FreeBSD laptop.

What I found on the FreeBSD 11 laptop
I have a lot of log lines, so if you are brave I can send all the lines.
Seriously it has been 3 days since I look, but I don't see any way to solve this issue.
I tried to replace cups-filters with foomatic, but does not work.
I tried to comment the following line on /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/PSC-2350-series.ppd
It print but only strange characters...
I'm not a printer engineer, I don't understand what happens. I think the CUPS server was correctly configured, I can print perfectly on my Debian 8 laptop.
So, I'm out of ideas. If anyone have one...
