Nothing will print on my Epson WF-7720. How do I fix the error message Stopped - Filter' failed?

Old issue, new issue, what changed..?

Did you search Epson Support—

Epson WorkForce WF-7720 | All-In-Ones | Support - Epson

It sounds like you're using the vendor driver. Does the "filter failed" message go away if you add the printer with AirPrint?

If you want to know what filter failed, you can enable cups debug logging in Terminal:

cupsctl --debug-logging

print a job and then search for what filter crashed in /var/log/cups/error_log. But it's likely something Epson will need to solve - updated drivers?

Hope this helps.

Drivers are not required for a Mac since that is an Airprint printer.

Print wirelessly from your Mac to your printer - Apple Support

Reset the printing system before trying to readd the printer

Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem - Apple Palaikymas (LT)

Also try powering off and then back on your router

I face the same problem today using an Epson L361 on USB cable for the last 3 years without a problem.

Am able to print directly from Draftsight (DWG CAD software), but from other apps like Preview of Abobe Reader the error message occurs: Stopped - 'Filter' failed.

Epson L362 is not WiFi enabled.

Looked at the Mac printing solutions, but nothing seems to fit the problem.
