Can't print any more "Stopped - Filter failed"

I have a HP DeskJet 940c.
It had always worked.

A few days ago it has suddenly stopped working. Even after reboot, its status ("Printer State") always shows "Stopped - Filter failed" and every time I try to print the job remains "pending" forever.

I have rebooted several times.

Is there any known fix/workaround?

I assume that the printer worked before. Check your /var/spool/cups directory, and empty it.

If that does not help, see the instructions for install the necessary plugins for your HP printer here.
