Behavior of "Stop Filter Execution" filter action
What is the intended behavior of the "Stop Filter Execution" filter action? I cannot find any recent documentation on that issue. When part of manually run filters, is "Stop Filter Execution" designed to stop all remaining filters for all messages if the filter that contains it matches once? That appears to be the behavior for me. When included in the first filter of several filters, only the first filter matches and the log only indicates instances of matching of the first filter, although several other subsequent filters should match for several messages that do not match the first filter.
I appreciate the functionality of Thunderbird's filters, but am trying to find a solution for implementing more complex boolean logic for moving messages from my Inbox using manually run filters. I have several filters set up for categorizing messages, but I would like to implement the filters such that they are not applied to starred messages. Currently, I have logic in most of the filters to not match a starred message by using the "Match all of the following" option, however this prevents use of OR logic in the filter and leads to an increased number of filters. I would like to set up the filters such that a first filter matches starred messages and prevents the remaining filters from being run only for those messages which match the first filter.
It may be that the behavior that I am seeing is a bug specific to my installation, but I'd like to get confirmation on the expected behavior and see if others have encountered this issue. I am working under the assumption that the behavior of "Stop Filter Execution" should stop subsequent filter processing only for messages on which a containing filter matches as indicated in the old post at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.feedback.thunderbird.prerelease/rUXaQ0NdZvM, but that assumption may be wrong.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Ok, it looks like this is a documented bug, for example at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552936. I should have searched bug reports before posting here. I'll track things with the bug reports. Thanks.

HP Laserjet P4014 Stopped – 'Filter' failed
I’ve seen discussion of this for other printers and versions of OS X. Has anyone seen this on 10.9.5 and, better still, solved it?
If I try to print to a networked HP Laserjet P4014, the print queue gives up with the message
Stopped – ‘Filter’ failed
Things I have tried so far:
downloading new HP driver software
resetting the printing system
changing the computer network name
rebooting
The only effect of all this so far is having to put back the printer’s network name and password.
At best, I get 1 page printed, followed by a Postscript error.
The only workaround so far: print to PDF and print the PDF from a Linux machine.As far as I can tell the critical thing is an RPC error. I trimmed quite a lot – I am not sure how informative this all is. I meantime also sent a tcpdump and sysdiagnose output to Apple via bug reporter so let’s see if they come up with something.

Canon MF5950dw throwing Stopped - 'filter' failed printer error
We just bought a Canon MF5950dw printer, and on a MBA running 10.8.2 when we try to print anything over the network, it'll stop with the error: Stopped - 'filter' failed.
I've:
repairing permissions from the rescue disk
tried deleting and re-adding the printer
uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers
reset the CUPS printing system
and nothing has helped. The MBA has no problem printing to our old printers. It works fine on the my MBP running 10.8.2 and our Windows 7 machines. It persists whether I set it up as a Bonjour printer or an IP printer.
Anyone know how to fix this? thanks!

HPC7280 All in one Printer. Connected to my Mac Book Pro but when trying to print keep getting error message.
Stopped: filter failedHi BolderK,
I understand that you are getting an error message when trying to connect to your MacBook Pro. I am assuming that you have Mavericks on it. You will need to reset the printing system.
Reset the printer system through the System Preferences.
Go to Printers/Scanners and reset (hold the control key and click on all available printers).
This should clear all the printers from the list.
Then you add your printer again.
Plug in the USB cable and the system reinstalls the driver.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP. -
Print window reads "Stopped 'Filter' failed, 1 Page"
Hi
When I go to print a doc my Print window shows the following message "Stopped 'Filter' failed, 1 Page" and refuses to print. I have checked all of the necessary things regarding the printer i.e. calibrating, cleaning printheads, ink supplies & printing test pages etc. Have DL'd all of the up to date drivers and have ensured that I am printing via a solid USB connection and yet still I get nothing. The printer is an Advent AW-10 and was working absolutely fine until I updated to Yosemite however I'm not sure whether or not this has anything to do with it but in my experience of updating OS's it usually does, any help would be fantastic.
The machine I'm using is a Mac Pro v10.10 OS X Yosemite
Look forward to any ideas/help,
Best,
AlexA rule of thumb: treat any OS update as if it is untested and you are now going to give it one, hang onto your old system 'as is' so you can revert or dual boot.
Check before installing a new OS for problems, for drivers, to insure your hardware and applications and if any need updates check here:
http://www.roaringapps.com
Backup - twice at least. And you may need to start with a new TimeMachine backup drive with new OS so you can revert back; also, even if it is just a smaller partition on your much larger TimeMachine drive, create a partition large enough to hold a system image, clone, that you can boot from if needed.
And definitely do not install new OS over the old. Yes you are suppose to be able, yes there tends to be more issues though if you do - the 'easy' way can turn into the long hard road instead.
And because it might be a good chance to reformat and initialize your drive. Or use this as an opportunity to buy and install a new better system disk drive (SSD preferable at this point - even if you have an SSD from 2-3 years back).
On another topic: those 'forced shutdowns' only make matters worse. ie, directory corruption and damage, possible corruption of files, plist (preferences) for which:
Got files that are not backed up? take care of just those.
Use Recovery Mode and repair the disk drive twice, "top" drive name and again with the system volume name.
Follow up with Safe Boot - might even do that twice.
Use Internet Recovery Mode and do a clean install - to another drive!
... but before you do so, save the installer, copy it to another disk or flash drive etc and then create your own flash installer (Lion DiskMaker is very easy to use for that).
Then you will at least have a solid system, have only Apple updates to worry about, and can begin to build back up.
Setup Assistant makes it easy to import all your old settings and such from your old system or from TimeMachine.
Any problems from there would be OS X 10.10.1 alone. If it IS working though, now is a great time to make a system backup image (clone, something you can restore from or boot from if needed).
And testing done.
People have been doing something along those lines for years, there are dozens of "lists" of "Best practice for updating or installing a new OS"
And done right you have a good safety net so you can -
Set aside the new Yosemite OS for later /
Go back to Mavericks that was working and continue to use that all the time or when you need to do something (print) that requires 10.9.5.
Then when Apple or another vendor has updates for your system, you can install and try those out.
You could end up with backup sets for both Yosemite and Mavericks.
And before you do install say 10.10.xyz some day, make sure you have the last version - would not want a power outage, disk failure, or the update process to go kaput and leave you with no good working system.
See if you can repair and uninstall and reinstall - or delete - the preferences and files and printer cache etc so your system does
Print as it should
Shutdowns properly and no freezing
No directory or disk issues
SMC and NVRAM have been cleared and reset and Startup Disk is reset to the proper default volume
Sorry for length, just meant to say "do some basic system maintenance" is all. :-) -
Message Stopped filter failed C3180
Not printing now and message saying Stopped - 'Filter' failed. It's a C3180 All-In-One and been excellent and reliable for 3 years.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with the printer. When do you receive this error message?
Also, try a hard reset with the printer.
Hard Reset:
Unplug the power cord from the printer and wall
Take out the toner/cartridges
Wait 30 sec
Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall (Make sure the printer is plugged into the wall and not a surge protector)
Insert the toner/cartridges back into the printer
Let me know the outcome -
Has anyone else seen this error when printing "Stopped - filter - failed"?
Currently I am trying to print to a new Dell C1765NFW Color MFP with Mac 10.8.2. I can print from a Word document but not from an Adobe PDF file. I have cleared the CUPS folder and rebooted however it is still not working with PDF files. It attempts to print but then comes back with "Stopped - filter - failed". Any ideas? The printer is also connected through USB and the newest driver for the printer has been installed.
Thanks!Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7"

Canon Pixma MP610 fails to print and returns a " Stopped - 'Filter' failed" error message.
Hi, I have updated to latest OS and now my Canon Pixma MP610 fails to print and returns a " Stopped - 'Filter' failed" error message.
I am running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65) on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I've done a complete system re-install and also performed a targetted install of just the Canon Drivers - but all to no avail.
The printer is OK with regard ink-levels and is/was working fine. It will print out 'photocopies' independantly of the iMac. Additionally, from within the Print Queue I can view the ink-levels so there are comms between the iMac and the Canon - it's just that 'Print' seems to be off topic.
Can anyone help as I have to get a document out tonight
Many thanks in advance
SIs that device desSystem Preferences - Print & Scan - Right click the printer and select Reset Printing System. DO NOT use any Canon software.
You did not advise how it is connected (USB- Wi-Fi- etc..) so it's a little difficult to assist with so little information. -
In my opinion, it would be a great feature to have "Archive" as a filter action.
That way I could create a filter that finds messages older than X days and "archive" them.
This way we, the users, will not depend on other users writing and maintaining add-ons, which do this very simple action.
I hope this is consider as a feature request.
Thank you.I will be rude and mark my reply as a solution, even though it is not. It gets it off my dashboard of unsolved and only then Bug fix will solve it properly.
It does not close the thread or prevent further comment however -
I have a new MacBook Pro, and when I try to print, the laptop says, "stopped filter failed 1 page". What can I do?
Okay, regarding this problem:
I'm trying to print to an Advent AW10 printer from an Imac running Yosemite 10.10.1 and it's been driving me nuts for the last two months...
I got on to Advent yesterday and recieved this instruction from their support team this morning and it worked and I'm now printing away merrily:
Please follow below steps:
In Spotlight search window type Terminal and then press Enter.
This should bring up the terminal window/program.
In the Terminal type:
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' then press Enter.
It will ask for your password. Please enter system password.(You will not see password entering)
After that type following:
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd then press Enter.
Try Printing.
I don't think this is specific to Advent and is rather simply an 'opening up' of something blocking the 'printer channels' (layman's terms obviously)
Hope this helps people out! -
Hi..I purchased a Pantum p2000 printer and I cannot use it. It gives me an error ( Stopped, Filter failure) I tried to re-install the driver several times but I still get the same message. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite -
How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again
Hi
I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
<%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
MetteI already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
While (i < 2)
if( i==1)
%>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
else
stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
Thanks for your help
Mette
