[STR New]

The "cupsfilter" utility is not working at all since CUPS 1.4.0. If one
starts it with any valid command line, even with a non-existing PPD file
specified, it segfaults immediately, probably before even trying to read
the PPD or the input file.

See

There is a lot of valuable information, especially a stack trace:

AFAIK "cupsfilter" is not patched or modified in the Ubuntu package of
CUPS.
