Printing went well on Catalina. Now printing stopped and showed message 'Filter failed'. Using printer Lexmark C543 and removed and entered the printer once. Same problem. Printer supply is visible in browser. Seems to be OS problem.

Just installed Big Sur on my Mac mini 2018.
Tried to print to a Canon Image Class MF 4150 and then to a Brother HL-L2360D printers to no avail.
Had to RESET the Mac printing system to solve a problem.
As directed in Apple Support: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh14001/mac
If you can’t print to your printer and you’ve tried all other solutions, reset the printing system. This process deletes all printers from your list of printers, deletes information about all completed print jobs, and deletes all printer presets.
Important: First, try other troubleshooting techniques in Solve printing problems on Mac.

SIGH - Still doesn’t fix the problem of being able to select the options that my printer has - still can’t do two-sided printing
CherylBurckhard, did you follow my solution on page 7 of this thread?
nananan72, look on page 7 at my post that says PROBLEM SOLVED!
not an OS problem. See my post above. I wish people would read the thread and find the answers.
none Of these ‘solves’ worked for me. Had to delete printer and download Canon printer drivers. Now working.
New IMAC has "filter failed" message - was working ok at first

This one is actually the only solution that worked for me. Thank you so much, @hectoranderic!
Yay! So glad to help! x
Installed OS Big Sur and have the printer ‘filter failed’ problem others mentioned. I’ve deleted the printer, reset, and re-installed as suggested, but no luck. My printer is a Canon D530/D560.
