I'm unable to print on a freshly configured hardened system. My cupsd error_log says: PID 2327 (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/hpps) stopped with status 11. In the meantime dmesg reports: [ 6424.965527] hpps[28319]: segfault at 1 ip 000055c74082ae69 sp 00007fffb83e7b90 error 4 in hpps[55c74082a000+6000] likely on CPU 13 (core 25, socket 0) [ 6424.965551] Code: 28 48 89 44 24 18 eb 13 e8 84 f6 ff ff 49 89 c7 e9 f4 fa ff ff 31 ff 89 7c 24 2c 48 8d 35 ab 53 00 00 4c 89 ef e8 87 f6 ff ff <41> 80 7e 01 01 48 89 44 24 30 0f 84 dc 08 00 00 48 8d 35 ec 53 00 So I tried to launch it manually in a way like: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/hpps 1 ago title 1 /tmp/file and I get a Segmentation fault in the end.
