After updating to the MacOS Catalina on my desktop yesterday, I am not able to use the printer. The message is 'filter failed'. It was working just before the update. My printer is FX DocuPrint M 205 b. Is there a solution?
'filter failure' probably means you were printing with Foomatic-rip filters and Ghostscript.
The version of Ghostscript used, version 8.71, is not 64-bit clean and a new version has not yet been tested by LinuxFoundation. Arbitrary newer versions of Ghostscript may not contain your device driver.
Thanks for that.
Does it mean that I need to buy a new printer and the current printer cannot be used.
No one knows yet.
Some senior contributors here are moving to fix this issue, but it's Open Software, not a commercial package, so Volunteer things take time.
Are you a developer?
No. Just a retired person trying to use my computer.
Never thought apple products give this much trouble.
