[PLUG] printing broken under CentOS 7

[Galen Seitz]

Hi,

Until recently, printing on my CentOS 7 machine was working fine.  Some 
recent update appears to have broken things.  I am now getting "Filter 
failed" messages when I try to print.  Have any other CentOS, RHEL, SL 7 
users seen this?

My speculation is that this is due to a recent ghostscript update.  I'm 
guessing that Redhat back-ported a ghostscript security fix that is 
causing a failure in the cups filters.

ghostscript-9.07-31.el7_6.11.x86_64
cups-filters-1.0.35-22.el7.x86_64

...

Here's the relevant bugzilla bug where I have entered my findings.
