[cups] Printing from 1.7 to 2.1 failing with Unrecoverable error

Your debug log states that the rastertzopdf filter stops with status 1. 
From the source of this filter I see that the only possibility to exit this way,
without any additional error message(s) is the very last statement of the main procedure:

return (Page == 0);

which means the filter didn’t produce any page(s).

As our log states that the document-format attribute (application/vnd.cups-raster)
as been set by the job originator (and not by cups itself), I suspect that the
job data is something different from cups-raster.
