Printing Fails with a "Filter Failed" Message
OS 10.14.x + Brother HL over wireless.
Have both the problem and a work-around here.
Problem: print jobs fail from Safari & Preview (perhaps others?) with the "Filter Failed" message. At this point, printing is no longer possible. Simply re-setting & re-adding the print system is not sufficient to fix.
Work Around:
- Reset Printing System (R-Click on Printer in Printers SysPreference)
- Reboot Machine *REQUIRED*
- Re-add the printer
That will work for a while . . . just repeat this when it breaks again.
