Description Zdenek Dohnal 2019-05-22 10:00:02 UTC 
Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1707559#c5 :

cups-filters was apparently using an undocumented feature of Ghostscript to count pages in PDFs - a feature that has been removed.  As a result, printing seems to be pretty much completely broken for any job that needs to go through a filter.

Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=926576
Arch bug - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62251
Upstream commit to fix - https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/commit/297cc2decc53e0b08eb03049fce375db33df2131

I'll clone the issue to RHEL 7 too, because the issue is there too. Plus we will need z-stream to RHEL-8.0.
