“Universal filter failed” on CUPS Linux printing from evince
“Universal filter failed” on CUPS Linux printing from evince.
Very specific but I suddenly was getting errors printing. Thought it was the printer driver/setup and fruitlessly reinstalled. No good. Finally found this obscure bug:

Basically, new Cairo version “cairo-1.18.2-1” breaks interop with evince (“Document Viewer”) and CUPS.
Solution is either to downgrade Cairo, wait for new bugfixed version, or, in my case, just print the PDF from some other app not evince.
