Since it is world readable and executable, I would start looking in the
file itself.
Are you certain the full path is /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter?
What is the first line of lpfilter? I would assume it is the hash-bang
and the full path of the interpreter. Does the interpreter exist at
that path? Is it readable and executable?
