Printer stopped- 'filter' failed message
Is a message I get when trying to print with OS 10.15.7 using my old MacBook Pro and old Canon i9900 inkjet printer. I am prepared to just get rid of the printer, but I have a feeling I might be able work out this problem. (Just trying to use it as long as I can)... I actually had two of these printers, and when the ink resevoir on the one which had the best print head was entirely full and could no longer be bypassed it stopped working altogether. I took the remaining inks and print head and transferred them to the other printer which I had found would work fine but was way out of whack for colors and it was obvious it was a clogged print head. That is when I found the above message. All my research says the driver should not have worked in OS 10.15.7 and thus the reason for the code, except that it had been working for a long time. Also the i9900 driver keeps ending up on my desktop. Where does it really belong? Is that why the message is showing up, Or should I trash the driver? Any ideas?
