I have a Laser Jet CP1025 color printer.
I am using a Mac with operating system Ventura 13.1.
I am unable to print anything.
I repeatedly receive the following error message: -
Stopped - 'Filter' failed, 1 page
I have recently switched from a Mac with OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
Using that Mac, my printer worked perfectly.
Now that I have upgraded to a new Mac, is my HP printer now obsolete?

Yes reset the printing system again, which removes the printer driver you have now. Install HP Smart then re-add the printer the list of printers should show the HP LaserJet CP1025 color printer. The drivers will come as a result of the HP Smart printer app. Run HP Smart it should detect the printer.

The problem is the printer is old and no longer officially supported by HP nor Apple.
The good news is color laser printers are much cheaper than they were 11 years ago. I saw reviews of this printer and it was retailing for $1,499 when it was new. You can find a color laser printer for much less nowadays. Highly recommend you go with one that has networking either Ethernet or Ethernet and Wi-Fi and that it also supports Airprint otherwise known as Bonjour, Zeroconf. That way you really don't need a driver, it will just work and it will also work with Apple mobile devices such as an iPhone / iPad.

There is a possible way to get this working, but it's not guaranteed and it's a very complex process that a professional sysadmin or developer might struggle to get working. There's an old Linux driver for the CUPS printer system which works in macOS. But it would involve installing developer tools such as a compiler, grabbing the source code, issuing arcane Unix commands. Run into problems that will require trouble-shooting, and if you are lucky it will work after considerable effort.
If you google: foo2zjs and do quite a bit of reading you will find a couple of git repositories, a Wayback Machine Internet archive and 'foo2zfs must live' page that has altered the scripts to make them work with the new URL paths. This driver is included with most Linux distributions as well as an hp-setup tool that includes these drivers. Sadly it's not going to work on modern macOS without some serious effort and hoop jumping.
Try this:
Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem - Apple Support
The other step that could be tried, is to remove the printer, then add it again.
Hi,
The latest supported full printer driver/software on HP's support page for the HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 Color Printer seems to be for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion:
This does not necessarily mean that the driver in question cannot be used with some subsequent operating system versions, but that would be experimental.
Unfortunately, finding a printer driver compatible with macOS 13 Ventura does not appear to be easy. See the following discussion:
hp laserjet cp1025 - Apple Community
Do you still have your old OS X 10.11 El Capitan Mac?
This printer is 12 to 13 years old. Did you try using Generic PCL?
Do the printer reset steps from Randall_2023 then go to the App Store and install HP Smart App. Then re-add the printer that way. It should, fingers-crossed, work. The HP Smart App will ensure you get the correct drivers.
Just to clarify: Would it be correct to assume that you mean the CP1025, not the CP1025nw? The reason for asking is that an HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw Color Printer was listed in an early (February 13, 2012) iOS: AirPrint 101 HT4356 Apple article as an AirPrint-supported model.
If necessary, you could perhaps make a print server out of the old Mac. For example, a third-party Mac app called Printopia (https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/printopia/) would allow printing from iPhones and iPads. You could also investigate whether "normal" printer sharing (Share your printer on Mac – Apple Support (UK)) somehow would be possible. Otherwise, a plain transfer of PDF files from the new to the old Mac (via the network, or by USB flash drive) could be used.
Reset the printing system again.
Installed HP Smart but it could not detect the printer.
Thanks for your reply, Jan.
Seems I'm not alone as muge289 clearly has the same problem with their printer having been apparently rendered obsolete by Apple's software upgrade.
I do have the old OS X 10.11 El Capitan Mac, but it's switched off, disconnected and I thought I'd used it for the last time.
Thanks for your additional reply, Jan.
Yes, it is a CP1025, not a CP1025nw.
I'll check that Printopia suggestion you made, for sure, but I thought I wouldn't have to use my old Mac again.
I'm disappointed Apple appear to have rendered my printer obsolete as it doesn't seem to be compatible with the new software on the newer Mac.
Just had a look at the Printopia site.
They say "Make Old Printers New Again - If your Mac can still print to it your iPad or iPhone can too."
Well my Mac can't now!
Amidst all the gloom, that made me chuckle!
I shall give it a try using my iPad, though.
Nothing to lose!
Thank you for the information. Good luck with any experiments!
You will need working printer drivers on the old Mac (acting as a print server), not the new one, for Printopia. So, that should not be a problem, since you could use the CP1025 connected to the OS X 10.11 El Capitan Mac. Printing from an iPad/iPhone should work that way. I wonder if the new Mac would detect the CP1025 connected to the old Mac...
No.
Same error message received after resetting the printer system and again after removing then re-adding the printer in System Settings.
I've already done the reset suggested by Randall_2023 without success.
Should I remove the printer again before installing the HP Smart App from the App Store?
Can't print from HP printer since upgrading to new Mac
