Thread: HP printer error 'filter failed'

i new ubuntu , limited in experience , troubleshooting skills have been using ubuntu 12.10 month or , while have had problems there haven't been printing problems once had hp photosmart b210 working wirelessly. until today. nothing changed in settings, error message 'filter failed' , printing doesn't work. tried print hard wired , doesn't work either. i've looked on line , haven't found in form of thought try forum. hopefully, can shed light on going on , need do.

or guidance can give appreciated.

look in /var/log/cups clues problem. create printer different name , see if prints. if works, delete old printer. print queues messed , way fix them delete , create new printer.

printer needs reset. try unplugging 10 minutes.
