cups or tde belly ache, kmail can't print to cheap brother lazer

Greetings all;

I am in the process od transitioning to stretch, and there are some helpfull email messages I need to print. . But I need to print them on a brother HL-2140, about a penny a sheet. not of the big ink squirter at 25 to 50 cents a sheet not to mention its in pages per hour speed.

But when I send something to the little brother, knotify pops up with the following message: A print error occurred. Error message received from system: Error while reading filter description for (bold>) true. Empty command line received.

This printer is shared and works fine from any other machine on my 6 machine home network, it only miss-behaves from kmail. Up to date TDE r14.0.0.5 install.

Any clues?
