Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Print a webpage from Chrome
2. Even can select "Print from System Dialog" to local printer
3. File is spooled out, then...."Stopped"

What is the expected behavior?
Should print. Paper should come out of printer. Instead CUPS hangs.

What went wrong?
The same setup with Mozilla Firefox NEVER FAILS TO PRINT from webpage. So i enabled debugging in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.; restarted the cups service,  and ran similar print jobs through the chromium browser and the Firefox browser at different intervals ~10 minutes apart, and did a differential analysis of the /var/log/cups/error_log. (Very tedious)

Main point being, both Mozilla's print process and Chromium's print process are nearly similar, EXCEPT: Chromium's (and by extension Google/Chrome's) print process stops on foomatic-rip's invocation of font complaint's by ghostscript, "gs". 

Both Mozilla and Chrome/chromium invoke "gs" with the same arguments etc. both go through many "client" agents/components to print, only in Mozilla's case, though ghostscript raises THE EXACT SAME FONT Complaint, it still manages successful execution and termination of the filter foomatic-rip, thus allowing print job to execute, while chromium's invocation of "gs" crashes out foomatic-rip, halting the job.

Specifically these are the crucial lines from the Chromium err log:

GPL Ghostscript 9.18: Some glyphs of the font LiberationSans-Bold requires a patented True Type interpreter.

D [07/Aug/2017:16:06:55 -0400] [Job 141] PID 9628 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 9.

Did this work before? Yes Don't remember the version, but an older version of Chrome on MInt 17 always worked fine printing from web.

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Mint 18
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

I am sure many people have this bug, because i have seen it on many boards, with people using different printers. I am sure, once the code maintainer responsible for this issue is pointed to this line of inquiry highlighted by my differential comparison of the err log, they'll be able to issue a quick fix, eliminating the problem for so many from enjoying the chrome browser, as i do.
