My problem is, when not printing system language Turkish.
While not a problem in English, I can print.
I had previously filed a registration error.

I am seeing this bug on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, with Linux 4.4.0-101-generic, hplip 3.16.3+repack0-1, cups 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.3 and python 3.5.2-2.

[Dylan Medina (dmedina)]

This error seems to be in the /prnt/filters/hpps file. The file handle output_fd is never opened. The line opens the file (150) is commented out. The issue is that when the HPPS filter throws an error, it attempts to write to a non-existant temp file. It could be solved by uncommenting line 150, or even better, adding some exception handling. See attached patch.
