Network printer HP gives error filter failed

  • 772

I am trying to use the university printer (it is an HP-Laser Jet-600-M602) to print my document. It worked well until yesterday, now it says "Filter Failed".

I tried to follow what is reccommended on this site, but I cannot access localhost:631: it requires credentials that apparently I do not have.

I have never installed HP proprietary drivers: Ubuntu did all by itself when I asked to search for network printers.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
