[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!

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?

After mavericks update, HP print error message = 'filter' failed.

Since I updated my MacBook Pro to OSX 10.9, I can no longer print on my HP Deskjet 1220C. I get an error message that says "filter failed". This printer is about 10 years old, but it's a goodie. It worked fine when I was using OSX lion. My roommate is still using OSX lion, and can print on the 1220C just fine.
I tried reinstalling the drivers found at < http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US >, but got the same error message when I tried to print.
Is there a raster filter file I could copy from the old operating system to solve this issue? Any suggestions?

Mr. McGruzoo,
I went to PCHelpStation, an online company that will remotely fix computer problems. Last week, that got the printer to work. Then two days ago, I realized that the “generic” printer driver only prints in black. Yesterday and today. the company spent hours and finally that company gave up. After seeking all kinds of work-arounds, nothing will change. Now, I am in a email war with Hewlett Packard. My 1220c printer is excellent. I do not want to buy another and I believe that HP should support every computer. The fact that HP has excellent long lasting products is all the more reason for that company to continue to support the 1220c printer. In one the emails, the VP of HP offered me a coupon for 20 dollars off paper and toner and a printer recommendation to buy a new one. I am not taking the coupon nor buying a new printer. I want a DRIVER for my printer!
Thank you for responding to my post. Maybe all of us can band together and badger HP until a driver is provided.
Sincerely,
Rosalind Johnson

Network printing problem with Snow Leopard

Hi everybody,
I am setting up a home network, mostly wired, with XP desktop and Macbook Pro (SL) and so far everything is OK except for the printer.
It’s a Canon Pixma IP3000 plugged over USB on a D-link router (604UP) configured as a switch.
* This printer works over the network with any XP computer. All I need is the router IP (192.168.1.3) and the queue name (lp1);
* This printer works over the network with the Macbook on virtual OS (XP on Parallels desktop), same parameters as above;
* This printer works with the Macbook on Snow Leopard when connected over USB (with the latest drivers from Apple BTW);
* This printer doesn’t work over network with the Macbook on Snow Leopard.
I have already tried several fixes and none worked so far. In the “Add printer windows”:
* The default tab shows nothing;
* The Windows tab shows my workgroup and the XP computers and that’s it;
* A manual configuration with the IP tab, using IP “192.168.1.3” and “lp1” for queue stops when I select the printer driver : a small windows pops up a tenth of second and I am brought back to the “select the printer software” list;
* A manual configuration with the Advanced tab using the address smb://192.168.1.3/ip3000 brings back a “NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED” error, that’s the best I got right now. I have tried several variant with different printer name or adding the workgroup name in the address, to no effect.
As the printer is connected to a router and not another computer, I don’t have any username or password. Or have I ?
Or it could be something very stupid as I am newb to networking and Mac OS X. Anyway I am lost and I thank you in advance.

Hello monsieurpaul and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As strange as it may seem, the error can be caused by the driver. The Canon driver for your model has not been designed to work with mixed networks. It will only work with a direct USB connection to the Mac. When connected to the Dlink router, the driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer and will cause all sorts of errors. Therefore you need to use a CUPS based driver, such as those provided by Gutenprint.
So, I would add the printer queue again, using the same configuration that Windows uses (IP - 192.168.1.3/lp1) but for the Print Using menu, type 3000 and select the entry showing 'Canon PIXMA iP3000 - Gutenprint'.
Hope this helps.

How to get my dell network printer working with wrt54g2

We have 3 PC's and a network printer, everything worked like a charm as soon as We replaced the router. How can We get the printer to work again on the network? We are able to see it on the magic network map, but when We try to print it says its offline??
Thanks for the help.

Try running your printer's install program again. Changes are when you replaced the router, the printer's IP address changed.

Network Printing Problems with Windows 8.1 and HP 8600 Officejet Pro

I can not print or scan from my Dell 2720 after the system has gone to sleep. My printer shows as connected to my network. Most time I have to completely restart my PC to get it to work but even that doesn't correct the issue most time. I have removed and reinstalled the printer at least a dozen times and updated the drivers several times. Also another oddity - my router is a dual-band (2.4 & 5 GHz) and my printer only connects to the 2.4 GHz connection which I understand is normal but any device attempting to print must be connect to the 5GHz band or nothing will print. So essentially I have two problems. Any suggestions?

Hi @mhmost,
I would be happy to help you print to your 8600. Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
As for the frequency, you are correct, the printer will not work over the 5.0GHz frequency, only with the 2.GHz.I suggest disabling the 5.0 frequency, and running on only the 2.4.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

HP Photosmart Premium c309g wireless network printing problem with 64bit Windows 7

A problem exists where the c309g is installed on a wireless network where one of the PCs on the network is running 64bit Windows 7. Amongst other things, the printer may print very slowly, appear disconnected or unavailable through the HP Solutions Centre and may not be pingable from any of the PCs on the network. The problem will affect ALL the PCs on the network !
Network monitoring software will also show an enormous level of network traffic between the printer and the Windows 7 PC. As soon as the Windows 7 PC is switched off, everything returns to normal.
The problem is solved by disabling the HP Network Devices Support Service on the Windows 7 PC as follows;
Run services.msc from the Run command on the Windows 7 PC. This will display the list of all the local services running on the PC together with Description, Status and Startup Type information for each.
Scroll down the list until you see the HP Network Devices Support Service.
Right click on it and select Properties to bring up the Properties window.
Use the dropdown list to Change the Startup Type to Disabled.
Once disabled, the printer will start to work normally. HP are aware of this problem which may be unique to the 64bit version of Windows 7.

Thanks but no luck... I tried it..... Got back from son's baseball game.. checked on printer - as in tried to have printer print something... nothing... prior to going out I went ahead and deleted the 6 c309 print devices and reinstalled a new one and got the printer to work... after the game it was back to ignoring print commands... When I go to printers there again are 6 print devices for this printer - one titled HP Photsmart Premium C309 g-m... then 4 copies of that and then one version titled HP0AC58C (HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m).
As I just finished writting that... the printer came alive and started printing some previous jobs... so maybe it helped - not sure but what about the 6 versions of print devices? I just checked the statuses of all the versions and the default is offline... the various copies have different amounts in que but have a pending status of pending deletion... When I tried to make one of the other copies the default printer - it errors out with 0x00000709

Network Printing issues with HP DeskJet 3054A

Basically I'm not able to get past the wireless setup - I get the unable to find printer error. I've tried to set it up with and without the USB cable. I was able to print using the USB cable, but not wirelessly. I used the WPS option to connect my printer to my network, both by pushing the button, and by entering the PIN.
Ok here goes for system config...I have a ActiontecM1000 DSL modem that is connected to a netgear WNDR3400 router. From this router, I have a desktop running Windows XP connected directly. I have several other devices connected wirelessly to the router, including a macbook pro running the most recent version of OS which was not able to connect to the printer wirelessly (just bought it last month with the Deskjet pronter). I am currently using WPA2-PSK [AES] security without MAC filtering.
On my router screen, when I click on "Attached Devices", I am able to see the printer, and it is assigned an IP address. Most of the documentation says to type this IP address into your web browser, but whenever I do this, I am unable to access the printer (so for whatever reason, I'm unable to communicate to this device. I currently have my desktop, macbook, 2 work laptops, an IPad, and 2 Iphones that are able to connect thru this router, so I don't think my router is malfunctioning, although it could be some weird printer setting that needs to be done...
Some other info which people may find useful - the print out of the HP Network config page shows that there is connection, the correct SSID, signal quality 5, the same IP address as shown on my router config page, as well as the correct authentication type - actually it says WPA-PSK vs WPA2-PSK. It also says port 9100 is enabled, and bonjour is also enabled.
The print out of the wireless network test results shows that the wireless on/working is pass, signal quality is excellent, and no other networks detected mating your network name. I will say that after 4 hours of trying this, I had a view choice words when I saw at the top of this sheet "No problems found. Congratulations on the successful setup of your wireless printer."
I'm running AVG, and have attempted to disable this in the off chance that this is a firewall issue of some kind.
I've also powered off the router, the printer, and the computer to try and resync everything.
I have downloaded the "Troubleshoot HP installation failure - network" application and have attempted all 7 solutions, and have not been able to resolve the problem.
Any assistance would be great!

Currently my actiontec M1000 does not have the wireless module (in the qwest modem configuration, it says "no wireless module detected" - when I first got the modem I called qwest to confirm the dsl modem has no wireless capability, which is when I ended up getting the Netgear router.
Is there a point where I can get warranty service for the printer? I'm beginning to wonder if there's just something wrong with the printer itself...

Changeing preferences on network printer queue with Powershell

Hi,
I found a script on this page - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/878e6bac-e2a1-4502-9333-5b1420f8b957 - that I am trying to adapt to work on my users computers and not only on servers. But I can't seem to figure out how to get a reference
to the network attached printers and change their preferences on the computer, the script only get the local ones.
The goal is to use only a portion of the script as a logon script for some users that need onesided printing as default.
param ($ChangeProp)
$host.Runspace.ThreadOptions = "ReuseThread"

$permissions = [System.Printing.PrintSystemDesiredAccess]::AdministrateServer

exit

write-host ("Exception: " + $_.Exception.GetType().FullName)
write-host $_.Exception.Message

Ok, I want to run this (some...) script on a users computer, not on a server, to be able to change their printer preferences. In this case, a network attached printer with duplex default from the server would get simplex as default.
We don't want to set up different queues on the server for different default settings. That's why we are trying with a script.
Running your script against my computer gets me (trimmed down a bit):

But on my computer I have four network printers that is not listed. And those are the ones I want to change the preferences on. Is there a way to do this?

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?

Unable to print to network printer // sometimes with port error

I upgraded to Leopard and am now _*unable to print to my network attached*_ *_Lexmark x9350_*. In prefs it shows the printer and driver installed. Once a print job is submitted, it reads printing, but there is no action on the printer. Other times it gives a port error. I tested the printer under OSX 4 and it printed with no problem. I also have a similar problem on the XP partition of this system. Please advise.

I don't think Lexmark has a Leopard driver for this printer yet. This problem was discussed earlier here

[SOLVED]Network Manager Applet and nmcli failing after GCC upgrade

Hi All,
So I went to update my system today and there were only like 8 or 9 updates. Like many other people I had an issue with gcc and pacman. To fix this I ran
pacman -S gcc
Then I ran:
pacman -Su
which updated pacman itself. On reboot though I noticed network manager applet was unable to find any of my network devices despite the fact that network manager was running and I had an IP address. I killed nm-applet and re-ran it and it spewed errors about not being able to connect to network manager. I tried running nmcli and it did the same thing. However, when I run nmcli as root it works. Looking at the arch wiki they suggest you be a part of the wheel and network group which I made sure I was. Everything was working up until I ran those two updates though. Anyone else have this happen or have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks,
Hemmar
EDIT: Never mind - a patch was released for consolekit which fixes the problem.

Hi guz46
I have already tried removing the ! and the same thing happened ... but I realised today that I was being automatically connected to "Auto eth0" despite there being no cable present. When automatic connection was disabled on "Auto eth0" my 3G connection (ppp0) connected fine.
Could you clarify that the preferred set-up in the /etc/rc.conf for the interfaces is without the !. The Wiki for networkmanager says to disable them, but then states that some may need to be reenabled with no explanation. The purpose of this confuses me!
Thanks for you help anyways,
Scott
EDIT:
I appear to have fixed my problem with the auto connection on the various interfaces by updating my /etc/rc.conf file to:
#Static IP example
#eth0="dhcp"
ppp0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(ppp0 wlan0 eth0)
Thus ensuring that I can connect in order of preference.

MacBook won't Network/printer share with other macs - only PC's!

okay this is weird.
if i try to network my macbook my G4 the G4 doesn't appear in my network list. I also cannot share the printer connected to my G4 because it does not appear in the printer setup.
now, if I try to network my g4 to my macbook, all works fine - the macbook appears in my network dialouge box.
so what gives?
I can print to network printers at my job which is a PC network.
Please help!

Do you have sharing set on the G4? Check your settings on it.

XP - Win7Pro(64bit) network printing problem with both D2660 and B8550

Everything seems to be working but the printing. I can enable sharing on win7, even add the x86 drivers. I can 'Add Printer' on XP and browse and find either printer. It installs fine and can be made the default printer. I can select printer preferences and I see the user interface unique to each printer and can adjust page layout/quality/whatever. But when I push print, it fails. Likewise if I just try to print test page, I get a failure.
Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?
I tried the troubleshooter, but no joy.
I also tried the HP Print Diagnostic Utility and it immediately returns and says connection could not be established-- reboot the computer. Seems like it thinks it is a local printer?
Any thoughts?

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!
