My printer keeps giving me an error: "Stopped; filter failed" when I try to print from my MacBook Pro. I recently updated to macOS Big Sur, so I am not sure if that has something to do with it?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
Hi,
The Canon MF216n is mentioned as an "applicable model" for the driver here:
How is the printer connected (USB or network)? If USB, you could perhaps try to wire (Ethernet) the printer to one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router, which should allow a wireless connection from the MacBook Pro. The Canon MF216n is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology, so additional drivers should not be required if the printer and the computer are connected to the same network.
Would it be correct to assume that you have tried a full printing system reset?

Addendum/correction
The first link in my previous message was for the fax driver. Here is the link for the MF printer driver:
have you tired canons latest drivers?

If all else fails you might try the open-source Gutenprint print driver. Check this page to see if your printer is supported: Gutenprint Supported Printers.
Hi there. Thank so much for responding. Yes, I did try this. I even deleted the all existing ones, then reloaded the new ones. No such luck!
Thanks for the tip!! Sadly, Canon MF216n not on the list. Guess my stuff is just getting too old! Grrrrr.
Oh my goodness, you are an angel!! The driver link you sent me worked. Thank you!!
Thanks so much everyone. Nice to have support.
You're welcome! Glad to hear that it worked.
