My Epson R2880 printer has stopped working - 'filter failure'

My prized Epson R2880 has suddenly stopped working. I upgraded to 'Mavericks' some time ago but for some reason this error popped up today and there appears to be no remedy.
Have tried deleting the printer and 're adding it several times' - no good. Epson site says that driver updates are available only from Apple. Apple update did not work.
Luckily I still have a trusty PC to fall back on but I really expect the Mac to contiue to work with this printer.
Any ideas?

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006

I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?
Update:
The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions

Really Thanks God
i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
The solution
Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //
it seems like if windows 7 gives it information that is reseted after turn it off
we wish windows 8 to solve this problem nearly

My Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working with Mavericks

Hi, my Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working in the past few days and I made no alterations that could explain why this might happen. I am using OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks on a Mac Pro desktop computer. I can print a test page when selecting it on my Canon Printer Utility from my desktop so it seems that there is contact between the computer and the printer but it will not print from iPhoto, Preview or Mail. When I select Print from any of these nothing happens and there is nothing on the Print List. I have checked the Printers & Scanners in my System Preferences and my Canon iP8500 is listed and highlighted as Idle Default and Share this printer is ticked. I have tried deleting this printer then adding it but it still will not print. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions bearing in mind that I am fairly elderly and have a limited knowledge of IT and some of the terminology.
Thank you,
Colin.

Hi, might try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

Network printing has stopped working

Several years ago I connected my HP 6300 All-in-One to a wireless router. My workstation is hardwired to the printer. My laptop is connected via networking.
Everything worked perfectly until last week. Now I can only print from my workstation. I checked the printer sharing settings on both computers and they are set to be shared.
The printer has been acting pretty strange lately. After every printing it gives me a "paper jam" error, when there is no jam. The only way to clear it is to turn off the printer, pull out the paper, then turn the printer back on. When it comes up I put the paper back and it will be fine for the next print job. Then I have to do it all over again. This started to happen before the network printing stopped working.
Also, I have my HP software disk. I put it in my PC thinking I would try to reconfigure network printing again, but nothing happened. I double clicked on 'setup.exe' in the root directory and the system hung. I tried the disk on the laptop and couldn't even view the files in Explorer.
I'm running Windows XP on both computers. All Windows updates are current.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Download and install the newer full featured software and drivers from the HP web site here. Now try.

My Epson Printer has stopped working with my Mac Air

I have asked Epson for support but they keep telling me the obvious about deleting the printer via settings and reinstalling again. There have been several updates from Epson at the same time so there is obviously a problem but this is getting ridiculous now. Has anyone had the same problem and how have you sorted it out.
My Epson is Office Stylus BX635FWD.
Thanks

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Is the printer attached to the computer or is it a network printer?

Epson R2880 printer does not work under 10.6 - how to install 10.5?

Similar to the many problems reported here, my brand new still in production mid-to-high-end printer from Epson does not work. I set aside my Epson 1270 when I realized that they would never support anything that old, but to not support a current expensive model!?!? I would never have bought it except that their web site claims 10.6 compatible drivers. Not true. I can use it as a text printer, but have none of the photo print options that I paid for.
Running on an iMac which I bought just before 10.5 came out. I never loaded 10.5. I paid the big bucks for a full upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6. I have found a 10.5 retail package. Once it arrives, what do I need to do to write 10.5 over the newer 10.6? Do I need to backup and erase everything, reinstall 10.4 and then 10.5? Or is there a reasonably reliable way to just load 10.5?

The easiest fix to this issue that I've found is to just use Sierra's software.
It means you don't get the nice built-in WWAN integration of 10.6, but whatever--it works!

Emailing files to my M1536dnf printer has stopped working

I used to be able to email files to my M1536dnf printer. Then I tried to install a driver for this printer on another computer and, by mistake, installed the entire printer web services package on the second computer. (I've since removed all that software from the second computer.) After my mistake, I can no longer send files to the printer by email AND I am locked out of the eprint center (where I could change the email address.) When I try to log in to eprint center I get a consistent message: Ajax submit failed: error =403, Forbidden
So I'm stuck and don't know how to proceed. (I can still print to this printer over my local network AND I can print to it from Google Cloud. It's only printing via email that seems broken.
Thanks for any ideas.

Software or drivers installed on your computer should not affect ePrint in any way. One thing that could have happened is that web services was removed from the printer.
As for the Ajax 403 error, It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

The setup button on my MX350 printer has stopped working.

Mx350 setup button no longer working. Can't setup new computers or use wifi.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or Service arrangement and take or send to Apple for resolution with one year Warranty. Until you do so, you can use Virtural Power Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn back ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

My airprint has stopped working. It has work well for several weeks and stopped for no apparent reason.

I have performed all the abvious checks and cannot find anything wrong or anything that has been changed. I have consulted several forums and have not found anyone having the same problem. I have an iPhone4 and an iPad2. Air print has stopped working for both devices. I'm guessing it must be something with the printer, which does work very well with everything but airprint. The printer in a HP Officejet 6500A Plus.

After some research, I figured out a work around to sovle that problem. On the router, I created a entry for port fowarding, the trggering port and targeting port with 5353. That seems fixed the problem with lost 6500A plus communication with MAC issue. The problem seems related with Banjour service which is utilizing UDP 5353. I did a trace on the router and found most of MAC products, such as MacBook will trigger the 5353 when connected with router, but some how, the 6500A will only trggering 5353 on router initializing, then lost its communication through 5353 aftrer few mins. Don't know why, but the work around seems working fine.
Hope that give everyone still battling this issue some ideas.

HT1923 mingler has stopped working

Hi,
I have been having trouble synching iPhone and iPad with iTunes on my PC.
Music library has not synchronized successfully for the longest time. I only have my purchased album on my iPhone and iPad. Everything I ripped from my own CDs could not be synch-ed.
For the past month, synchronization has failed for both my iPhone and iPad. Error message "mingler.exe has stopped working", and failure at Step 3 of 7 (Synching Contacts).
Problem #2 was the more pressing one and I have followed the steps in post "Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support", performing clean uninstall and reinstall, at least 4 times now. The problem did not go away.
Appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you.
Specifications of my devices:
iPhone 6, 64GB, iOS 8.1.1
iPad Air, 32 GB, iOS 8.1
iTunes 12.0.1.26
Windows 7, home premium, SP1 on 32-bit system
MS Outlook 2007

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Plug-in container has stopped working. No printing from web

Went to print a receipt from a web page and got firefox 'not responding'. Then error message after I click to close..."plug-in container has stopped working". I have reset ff, i have uninstalled and reinstalled. flash is up to date. I have EWPS plug in (I have an epson printer) and E web page plug in.
When I checked in my pc for the ewps, it doesn't open but says it needs plug in container and to re download e-web print. did that. No better.
Not an epson issue as other stuff prints.
Please help
thanks

I'm trying to figure out what plugin(s) the problem page is using.
Are there other pages on the site (same host name, e.g., www.example.com) that do not lock up Firefox? If so, please open one of those pages and then switch all the plugins to "Ask to Activate" for the site. Here's what I mean:
Click the padlock or globe in the address bar and then click "More Information". At the top of the Page Info dialog, click Permissions. Then, in the plugins section, click "Always Ask" for each one and close the dialog.
The next time you visit the problem page, Firefox should show a bar telling you which plugin needs to be activated. Actually, this might not kick in until after you exit and start Firefox up again.

"remote desktop connection has stopped working" When printing from remote desktop connection

I have been having a issue when using a windows 7 machine. I have Remote Desktop to a session on Windows2008 R2, I am using the local printer resources to redirect the printing. However everytime i try to print it crashes the remote desktop application.
Gives me "remote desktop connection has stopped working." I have 4 other computers connected and printing with no issues what so ever. This only happens when i print. It does print by the way just the application crashes.
-I have also updated the printer drivers to newest possible thru the manufactorer website. The printer is a Brother MFC-8890DW. Windows 2008 R2 is up to date for the RDS server. 3 other machines are able to Remote in and print. The user is able to print using
diffrent machines just not the Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
Happy to hear that you resolved your issue. For another issue which you are facing here trying to provide some suggestion.
As you have commented that you are facing issue with second screen resolution on wide screen. The setting which I am suggesting can only applies when you are using multi-monitor Remote Desktop connections. If you are making Connections using a single
monitor do not use this setting.
So for this you can try to apply “Limit maximum display resolution” setting in group policy, where you can mention the width & height for the screen to display. The setting can be applied on below mentioned
path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Meanwhile sharing article with you for more information.
