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

  • 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.

  • 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. :-)

  • 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
    S

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • I have a new MacBook Pro, and when I try to print, the laptop says, "stopped filter failed 1 page". What can I do?

    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!

  • 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:
    rastertoescpII:
      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.
    Kristin

    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 ...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ cups ▹ error_log
    from the hierarchical list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • Photosmart C6100 "Filter" failed

    What does the message "Stopped - "Filter" failed, 1 page" mean?
    How do I correct the error?
    I have an HP Photosmart C6100 series printer from an iMAc OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion?)

    Try these steps to uninstall the current software using the HP scrubber and then reinstall using the current HP driver available through Apple. 
    To do so, perform the following steps:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
    2. Next click “Continue”
    3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
    4. Press and hold control+alt+command on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
    5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed. 
    6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
    7. After it completes, reboot your computer. 
    Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
    WARNING: This is will delete all of your printers.
    1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select either  “Print & Scan” or "Print & Fax".
    2. Right click (or control + click) on the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”.  
    After you have reset the printing system, let's make sure you have the most recent HP driver package installed. 
    You can do this two ways. First,  check for any available HP Update's by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update. If there are any updates available, they should show up here. However, if the printer is connected by USB, it will not show any available updates. The other option is downloading the drivers from Apple's website. 
    You can download it here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg
    Once you have downloaded the driver package and completed the installation, you will want to plug your printer back in (if you were using a USB connection).  After the printer is plugged back in, go into your print settings under System Preferences > Print & Scan. To add the printer, click the plus sign. You should see your printer listed here. If not, click "Add Printer or Scanner." Click the name of your printer and then click "Use:” box.  Make sure that says the name of your printer and not AirPrint. If you are using the printer wirelessly, make sure that the printer "Kind:" is set to Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction. Click "Add" down in the bottom right hand corner.
    This will add your printer back using the most recent HP print driver available through Apple. Let me know if this helps resolve your issue or not. If it doesn't, let me know I will see what else I can do.
    Best of luck,
    Kyle

  • '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.

  • Error message "filter" failed

    Hello, I am printing a custom sized program for my wedding. I have succesfully printed about 60. I need 40. My printer has been giving me many problems and I can't figure out what to do. It prints the header and sometimes almost half of the program and then stops and I get the error "filter" failed. I have removed the printer completely from my computer and reset the printing system. It doesnt work on my other printer HP Officejet 4620 because I don't believe you can do custom sizes in that one. Can you please help me so I can get these finished before my wedding.  Thank you,Samantha

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you are getting the error message. "filter" failed when printing with your HP D1530, on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you! According to this post, Printing Custom Size Error, on the Apple Support website, this appears to be an Operating System specific error message. At this point, the best option for you, would be to contact Apple Support, for further assistance.  Best regards!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • 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!
