# CUPS reports "Filter failed" in web interface:
# PDF-169  Unknown  Withheld  1k  1 stopped  "Filter failed"

# RESET (remove job)
$ lprm -P PDF; lpstat -o PDF
$

Here are a few examples which *do not* cause a problem:

$ echo '// tatic' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo '// stati' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo '/ static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo ' static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo '/static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo 'static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$

$ echo '          //   static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF
$


Now I'm bored ;-)

$ echo '//           static' | lpr -p -P PDF
$ lpstat -o PDF

I hope there are some clues, there.  I'm assuming you will get my system
info from the "ubuntu-bug cups" I did.
