On the chance that the "Filters failed" issue involved the PDF viewer Evince, I installed the PDF Viewer browser extension in Chromium, enabled local file access per instructions, and I am now able to print selected PDF pages without error. Interestingly, Evince continues to fail filtered print jobs, but now without returning an error message. The cups error log appears to mark the failed jobs as "completed" now.

My point here is that a potential workaround for this complex issue may be to try using an alternate PDF viewer.
