Printer keeps giving 'filter failed' message.

I removed and added it a couple of times from the 'printers and scanners' section but no solution. The printer I have is the Samsung SPP-2020B. On the Samsung website I can not find any updates for the printer.
Please help me!

Thanks sig!
I'm not that great with computers but when I download the driver and instal it, it must work right?
First I downloaded the drivers and installed it, than my problem wasn't solved so I restarted mij computer. Stil no result.
Than I removed the printer from the scanner and printers list and reinstalled the software and addited it again. Still no result, ore at least the same error.
Do I have to do anything more than removing it from te list if I want to uninstal a printer?

    Hi @pkjbadala ,

    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.

  • My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge"

    My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge." Although I go through procedures outlined in manual, message keeps reappearing. Suggestions?

    Hello again!
    Still having problems but here's more info: Checked "Resume" but  Message next to the job says ERROR but that 'Pinter is ready'.
    However, on the PRINT & FAX page in System Preferences it has 'Idle' next to the psc1317 (default) printer.The computer scans the document but wil not print it. With printer off I disconnected the power cable and the USB from the computer then re-connected after 1 minute.  When I turned the printer back on it printed the test sheet but not the document.  I have also unistalled then reinstalled the hp1317 Snow Leopard software and driver and computer says that all software is up to date. Apart from a dodgy connection I have no idea where to go from here!

  • Filter Failed Message after HP software update

    My old HP deskjet 932C printer now gets a "filter failed" message since the HP software update. I can't print documents. Any suggestions?

    Go to System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.  Select your printer that's not working and delete it (hit minus sign).  Restart your computer.  Go back to Printers and Scanners and add printer.  I had same problem this morning with HP 932C and this solved the problem for me.

  • I forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    i forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    This will tell you how to restore

    You will probably need to use recovery mode

  • When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

    When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

    What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
    iTunes: 10.5.2.11

  • I set up my Ipod touch with an Apple ID that I had for an existing Shuffle Ipod. It keeps giving me the message that my password or sign in is incorrect.

    I can not sign in to my Apple ID with a new Ipod Touch using my old sign in ID and password I created with my shuffle. It keeps giving me a message that it is incorrect.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

  • '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.

  • "Filter Failed" message appears when printing PDF files

    Update your OS and re-install your printer drivers.

    Helo, im failing to update iphone4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOs 6.1.2. I have tried downloading the software via wifi and keep receiving an error message. I have backed up all music and photos and deleted uncessary apps so virtually the phone has remained with the original factory applications. But still refuses to update. Please help.

    What is the error message? Are you trying to update over the air, or by connecting to iTunes on your computer?
