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!

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,
Alex

A 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!

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

Is 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.

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!

Is it simply to wait it out, or face the reality and buy a new printer?

Stopped - 'Filter' failed, 1 page

All of a sudden Epson 9890 won't print with the above message in the print que

Having the same problem on my Epson Stylus Pro 7900. I printed over 30 prints in the last two days. Suddenly I began receiving the "Stopped - 'Filer' fails, 1 page" error. Was on the phone with Epson for an hour today. Deleted and reinstalled the printer and tried several other workarounds. Ultimately I was told it was a problem with Apple. On the phone with Apple for an hour today. They're saying it's an issue with Photoshop. Logged in here and it seems Apple is pointing a finger at Epson and Photoshop.
Does ANYBODY have ANY clue why I was able to print dozens of photos over the last two weeks and SUDDENLY I can't????

Please Help! All of a sudden my Epson workforce 630 won't print. I have combed the previous discussions and tried the suggestions; still not printing. I get an error message that says'"Stopped, Filter failed"

HI,
I have combed previous discussions and tried the suggestions. I am running OS X 10.9.2. My Epson software is current( I just re downloaded all the drivers etc.) I uninstalled and reinstalled my printer. I opened sharing and there is a name there. My hardware has this message if this helps:

Path: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/ MacOS/rastertoescpII. I have turned off, unplugged, waited... nothing. I am able to do a test print and all is fine. Epson only assists via email and I have to wait 24hrs. I'm reaching out here; been banging my head against the wall since 7am today. I really need to get back to work, sigh. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I was contacted by Epson support, all resolved. There were so many steps we did to resolve this; I'm unable to remember them all to share here.

PDF printing is broken with "Stopped Filter failed"

This is really a "windows" kind of error, that i was not expecting to see in Mac,
I have Timecapsul wireless network, printer 7520 (HP) I bought it from Apple store,and macbook pro.
everything works I have printer setup wirelessly etc .. but for some reason I can not print from PDFs only
again it only happens with PDF files, all other doc formats print fine.
I have full licensed version of acrobat XI Pro.
I tried reinstalling driver, removing adding printer etc ... nothing helps,
my computer name in sharing is not empty, ... what else to try?
now I am deciding should I contact HP Adobe, or Apple for tech support,
this is so confusing ...

Yosemite - Canon printers stopped working 'filter failed'

This is a curious tale. I have a MBP Retina Late 2013 and connect to a Windows network. I have two Canon Image Runner printers on the network. To install them, I downloaded the drivers, then in ADD PRINTER, chose 'Windows' and chose the printers from the list presented. All good so far.
The printers have worked fine for 8 months.
Two weeks ago all MS Office programs started crashing whenever I tried printing from them. I've had issues with Office on a Mac before so, because I was very busy, I put dealing with this issue into the 'eventually' basket.
Last week Adobe Reader crashed when printing a pdf. Illustrator and InDesign printed fine, however, for a couple more days, but then they too failed to print (but the programs didn't crash). When I looked at the print queue I had the message 'Printing Stopped - 'filter failed'. This happened every time, whether I printed from any program (Word, Pages, InDesign, Illustrator, Reader, Acrobat Pro) or to either Canon printer. A search online threw up all sorts of reasons, mostly having to do with upgrading to Yosemite and the drivers being Sandboxed. But I had been printing successfully for months on Yosemite, and there had been no recent updates to the OS.
After contacting the firm's IT support (Windows, with few clues about Mac), they suggested uninstalling the printers and reinstalling them. Which is where things got really curious. I deleted all the printers, rebooted, and went to ADD PRINTER, but where the network had earlier given me a list of available printers, there was nothing. Also curious, I suddenly had an Oki laser printer installed (Bonjour). To satisfy my curiosity I printed something to the Oki printer, and it went through. I then searched through the building for an Oki printer, found it out in despatch, and sure enough there was my print job.
I tried to delete the Oki printer, but whenever I reboot it comes back!
At home I have several printers (all deleted when I purged the printers at IT Support's request) and I reinstalled them successfully. A Fuji-Xerox and 2 Brothers all print fine.
The problem, therefore, has to lie with either Canon printers specifically, the Windows network or ghosts. Nobody else uses my MBP and the IT Support denied any recent upgrade to the server or software.
I really, really, really would like to be able to print at work, and the guy out at despatch is getting annoyed whenever I send something his way. Has anyone had a similar issue, or does anyone know what the heck is going on?

Is it necessary for you to print via the Windows share? If not, then I would suggest you look at printing directly to the imageRUNNERs. To do so you will need to determine their IPv4 addresses, as the imageRUNNER series does not currently support Bonjour, so you will not see them in the Default view of the Add printer window. Once you have the IPv4 address for each imageRUNNER, you can add them by selecting the IP icon (instead of Default or Windows) and entering the IPv4 address. You then set the Protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket and leave the Queue field blank. You can then change the Name from the IPv4 address to something more meaningful to you and you can enter a Location if so desired. Then the last step is to select the supporting Canon driver in the Use menu.
If IT says you must use the Windows share then the ability to see a shared printer has nothing to do with an installed printer driver. So when you select to add the printer and select Windows, you should see the list of Workgroups and Domain names. Assuming you do and select the appropriate one the Windows print server belongs to, then you should get a prompt to authenticate to the server. Here you can enter your Windows domain account and this should result in you seeing the shared print queue. Does this happen?

[SOLVED] Network printing stops with 'Filter failed'

I have a problem with printing over the network. What I want to do is printing from my wireless connected laptop with the usb-printer (HP PSC 1315 aio) that is connected to my computer (that functions as the cups-server). On the laptop, I added the printer with the address ipp://192.168.1.33:631/printers/hp_psc_1310_series. After printing a (test)page, the progress stops with ‘Stopped “Filter failed”’. The print task is send to the computer because I see it there, but I think on the computer is going something wrong.
- Printing from the computer is no problem!
- It isn’t the firewall, because I stopped iptables.
- I deinstalled cups, deleted all configuration files, installed cups and added the printer; no success.
- Avahi is active; I restarted it already (the wiki says that can help, but no success).
- I tried it with another laptop, but with the same result.
- I have the printer marked as ‘shared’ and the server as ‘Share printers connected to this system’.
Does someone know anything else to try to get it working?

This afternoon I tried printing over the network again, and it worked! I have no idea why it is functioning now, maybe there was an update of CUPS or another package that made it work. I did the same as last time, but now the printer was simply reacting as he should.
I'm happy with this!

Stopped Filter Falied

HPC7280 All in one Printer. Connected to my Mac Book Pro but when trying to print keep getting error message.
Stopped: filter failed

Hi 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.
