printing - 'filter failed'

Installed Yosemite, printing stops working on my Canon iSensys LBP5360 (aka Canon Color Imagerunner outside Europe).

The print queue says "Stopped - 'filter' failed".

Worked fine yesterday on Mavericks.

Any ideas? Be gentle - I moved from Windows after 29 years last July...

Bill.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

The only workaround I've found so far is to use a windows computer as a print server. So I've set up a windows PC with the correct windows driver, then shared it on the network, then set Yosemite to use this printer, specifying the earlier Mavericks print driver as the one to use. It's an ugly solution, but it worked for me, always assuming you have a PC lying around the place. Best I can suggest - sorry.

This is because Apple tightened the security on Yosemite. Oki needs to fix their drivers.

Hi Bill, I have the same problem, so rest assured your not alone. I fixed mine. I'd like to share with you my fix and perhaps you might get back online.

This happened in error but it worked none the less, I reset my printing system via system prefs (this wipes your computer of all printers, regardless if they work or not! tread carefully)

No I had no printers installed, no loss right? It wasn't working on my Canon i5235iR network laser.

I then went to add a new printer, selected IP as the method, in the top address I put, the dns addy of my printer, in my case its 192.168.0.xx, then it searched and offered me a generic printer driver, I then chose to select the driver and in the search I put in my printer name and found the Mavericks driver , selected it and I was back online on the mavericks driver, all good.

Hope this helps.

Hi SpaceDesign911 - actually, I already tried exactly those steps last week, and it didn't work. Reset the print system, specified the IP address, selected the Mavericks driver. No deal. Clearly some difference, either in the drivers or the way you went about it compared to me. Did you restart the machine during this process?

Try this OKI C5600 not printing under Yosemite

Thanks Paulo! Now, if I can just figure out how to print your instructions ... 😕

By the way, there was a post from iKokie which specified how to switch off the sandboxing to make this work. These posts have been deleted, presumably by Apple, but they didn't specify why which is pretty annoying. I suppose they don't like their new security being compromised, and obviously we are not adult enough to decide for ourselves (I'm 52, btw, and been coding since I was 18...)

You can find the post about relaxing sandboxing at the top of this page. Have not tried it, though: Re: Printing on Yosemite is anyone haveing problems?

Thanks Paulo. Still not sure why these earlier posts on this thread got deleted, without a link elsewhere.

Ok, so I tried relaxing the sandboxing as per the link you shared. It works. So my issue with the iSensys LBP5360 is now resolved. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
