Mac OS X 10.9 filter failed P4014

I have a Mac that before installing Mavericks (10.9) printed fine (as did other Macs used before) to a Laserjet P4014 used via an SMB server. The machine is configured to print only via the server, so I can’t print directly to it.
It now failes to print, reporting Filter failed.
I’ve tried applying the various solutions on different threads here like removing and reinstalling the printer, changing the Mac’s network name, rebooting, checking the disk and correcting permissions, and installing the latest drivers.
There is nothing wrong with the printer – we are in a building full of non-Mac users who have reported no problem, and I can print from my Linux machine.
I have reported this as a bug to Apple and exhausted option from discussion on Apple’s support forum.
Any more ideas?

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.

HP CLJ 4700dn + Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite + custom page size + landscape = Filter failed

Hi!
I am having the same problem as described here, but with a HP Color Laserjet 4700dn printer:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=3737540&docId=emr_na-c04477046&docLocale...
When printing in MacOS 10.10.1 Yosemite from any non-Adobe app and
1. selecting a custom paper size - in my case: a C5 envelope with the following sizes (in mm):
width: 162 mm
height: 229 mm
margins top: 70, left 75, right 0, bottom 10 mm
but I've also tried to create a custom size that's the same size as A4 but with different margins
2. selecting landscape orientation,
I get a "filter failed" error in the printer queue and then a Apple crash report window that starts with the following:
Process: cgpdftops [9142]

I've tried to reset the printing subsystem and re-adding the printer, and also repairing permissions, but it didn't help.
Is HP and/or Apple aware of that this is a problem also for the CLJ 4700 series? Any info on when this will be fixed?

Hi!
I am sorry you are having this issue since you updated to Apple's Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
After reading all the clear information you provided, I strongly believe the document you reference is related to your problem's scenario: using custom papers in landscape mode with a PostScript driver, after updating to Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
I recommend you frequently update your Mac OS X 10.10 system with Apple updates, as the component crashing is part of Mac OS. I have verified that the issue is, as today, not yet fixed in Apple's Mac OS X 10.10.
Until then, the workarounds referenced in the document should be applicable to your scenario as the only solution. Alternatively, Mac OS X versions prior to 10.10 Yosemite do not include this bug.
I would like to hear from you if the workarounds worked for you. I will post an update once I verify Apple finally released a fix for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Best Regards

Canon MF4400w Printer - "Filter" failed error. Can't scan either.

Hi,
I work in a wholly Mac environment. We have around 10 plus Macs in the office, most of them running 10.8.3 (the latest I believe). All Macs are able to print to our Canon MF4400w Printer fine EXCEPT mine.
I've had a Canon technician come by. We've installed/reinstalled the canon drivers multiple times, tried via USB/Wireless, and I personally looked up these forums to try and diagnose the problem myself. As far as I can tell, it has something to do with "capdftopdl", whatever that is.
This is a new iMac that was purchase a few weeks ago. I've used migration assistant to transfer my files from my old Mac to this new one via LAN cable. Printing from this Mac has always resulted in the "Stopped. "Filter" failed." error. It has never printed successfully despite trying multiple different drivers.

Things I have tried:
1) Some threads suggest that it may be a corrupted Font problem. Followed steps suggested by thread, no luck.
2) Some suggested it was a setting under network. Followed those steps, still same problem.
3) Setting paper print size to A4/Letter
Please help!

Can you reply with your email address, but in the form of user_name at domain_name dot com (dot country if applicable). I have some files to send you to replace the Canon files that are possibly causing the error.
Also, for your reference, you posted in the Lion forum but you have Mtn Lion. If you posted in the Mtn Lion forum I would have got to you sooner.

I have already tried this one.
It did not help
Whats there to do?
Is it simply to wait it out, or face the reality and buy a new printer?

Problem printing to OKI - error msg = "filter" failed

Okidata usually updates drivers for Mac OS upgrades but does not have one for Yosemite (yet? I hope?). The error message on the printer reads: "filter" failed. I've never seen that before. Anyone know what this means and/or how to work around it?
Same message from all applications. Message is in the Mac Printer preferences box, not on the printer.
I can print to old HP inkjet - my backup - but not to OKI c5800Ldn color laser printer.
Tried deleting printer from list and adding OKI with IPP address - no joy.

Didn't specify .... I'm using PS CS5, version 12.1

I keep getting a filter fail message when i try to print

i cannot print, i have a new mac and i need help, can someone help me out?

Hi @pkjbadala ,
I see that you are getting a filter failed message, when you try to print. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try and print a document.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

HP 3650 Filter Failed

I just attempted to print 2 documents. The first one printed and the second one did not. The printer gives me an error message that the "filter failed." Did my printer just die or is there a fix? I have already tried purging my printer list and adding the printer back - no luck.
Running OS 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro...
Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for the follow up. Since the printer is USB only, the filter failed error must be coming from another source. Try this; reset the printing system> remove the USB connection> download and install this: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X> restart the computer and connect the USB.
The Mac should auto add the printer, once done, try to print.

Filter failed message from printer

I get the filter failed message from printer - an Epsom 387.
It has worked wirelessly for over a year - today it will not.

For my
Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD
I found downloading
* Mac OS X Common Updater (v8.0) 12-May-2011 36.94 MBs *
With the Mac OS X Common Updater you keep your printer drivers always up to date
Very very helpful......

it worked straight away.. i hope it helps you also.

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. :-)

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!

'Filter' failed message when trying to print

I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, mid 2009 running OS 10.9.5 and an Epson Artisan 730 with a wireless connection.
Today, when trying to print, I get a message that says, "Stopped - 'Filter' failed."
I have never seen this message before. It was printing just fine a couple of days ago.
I noticed there was an Epson software update available in the App Store, so I downloaded that. Didn't help.
I tried restarting the computer. Didn't help.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? It just sort of came out of nowhere.

Mystery solved! By going to the referenced link, I found this:
If you’re using a Wi-Fi network and there are multiple Wi-Fi networks available, your Mac and the printer might be on different networks. Open the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar, then try choosing a different network.
I got a new router that has two network branches. The printer (Artisan 870) is on the low-speed branch (because who cares how long something takes to print?). Rebooting usually brings up the MacBook Pro on the same branch for some reason, but I had manually switched it to the high speed branch to watch some streaming video. Manually switching it back cured the problem. This thoroughly explains why I was getting this error message intermittently.

I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
Cancell both downloads anyway.
Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed, Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.

'Filter' failed error EPSON STYLUS SX515W

Before upgrading mountain lion. I set up ESPON STYLUS SX515W which was fine. Then I upgraded mountain lion os. I cannot print as it's said 'filter' failed. I tried to resolves this problem. All I did was that I deleted the printer and add a printer again through system preference but it's still not working. So please guys help me to resolves this problem. It's so frustrating.

I had the same issue and tried everything.
Finally, I re-installed OSX completely from OSX utilies on the recovery disk using cmd R when booting the mac.
OSX took over 6 hours to download and install itself back. The following morning the Mac was on and ready.
I can print now.
