Bug Description

On 32-bit Linux system, file doesn't print.
Fails with "Filter Failed".

SYSTEM
Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS), i686-pc-linux-gnu (32 bits) kernel 4.4.5
Printer: USB, LaserJet Pro M201dw
CUPS 2.1.4, cups-filters-1.9.0, hplip-3.16.5, ghostscript-9.19
'temp.txt', a text file to print (containing one or a few ascii characters)

TESTS
1) Install printer from command line (console):

lpadmin -p alexPR -E \
 -v "usb://HP/LaserJet%20Pro%20M201dw?serial=VNB3F12583" \
 -P <file.ppd>

2) Attempt to print file:

lp temp.txt

RESULTS
1. <file.ppd> = 'hp-laserjet_pro_m201_m202-ps.ppd'
Result: The problem reported in the submission above (Filter Failed)
Details
 Attached: 'error_log-320-lp-1' (the 'hpps' errors).

2. In <file.ppd>, by replacing the line
 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 hpps"
   with
 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 50 rastertohp"
 (thus practically eliminating 'hpps' from the filter chain)

the printing is OK (the 'temp.txt', the CUPS Test Page, etc.)
 Attached: 'error_log-320-lp-2'.

3. For comparison, Arch 64-bit Linux (same hardware, same version software),
printing ('hpps', etc) is OK.
 Attached: 'error_log-arch'.

Please note that file (filter) 'hpps' is identical on BLFS (32-bit) and Arch (64-bit):
12,678 bytes.
