Tried to install new drivers from Lexmark but this is also resulting in an error so new driver are not installed. Printer receives nothing it even does not even wake up. Same problem overher with my Lexmark CX310 when i print. Using printer Lexmark C543 and removed and entered the printer once. Now printing stopped and showed message ‘Filter failed’. We’ve shared multiple reports from affected users below: After installing the macOS Big Sur (11) update, users are reporting that the printing function is now broken.
Now, another issue appears to be troubling many Mac users. Take for example the bug we reported of earlier which prevents some MacBook users on Big Sur from booting their devices while connected to a monitor via Thunderbolt.
Of course, a quick Google search will serve you dozens upon dozens of articles detailing all that’s new and the same goes with videos on YouTube.īut before getting excited about the new features and improvements, it’s also worth noting that, like most other software updates, the macOS Big Sur update also has its fair share of bugs and issues. It carries several improvements and even brings one of the biggest UI overhauls to macOS, bringing it more in line with the UI offered on iOS 14. The macOS Big Sur update is probably one of the most feature-rich updates that Apple has released recently for its macOS machines.

As you narrow the field, check to see if the printer is supported by one of the Mac OS X packages listed above. Researching a printer purchase? Browse the database. Please try to be patient and realistic in your expectations. Unfortunately, getting the drivers to work may require more advanced skills, such as compiling source code, and generally goes beyond the scope of user-to-user help forums.
If no Mac package is listed for the printer driver you need, please ask about it in the Mac OS X forum. Mac OS X packages are not available all drivers. There are over 250 printer drivers and over 2000 printers in the database. It includes a printer support database, a project list, the Foomatic printing infrastructure, and more. The OpenPrinting site also contains a number of resources to help you with your printing problems under Mac OS X. Please note that all Mac OS X packages on this site require Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or higher. Some people refer to these drivers as CUPS drivers. Virtually all of the open source drivers can utilize all the capabilities built into the CUPS printing system. Many Mac OS X printer drivers that the manufacturer supplies may not work if you are trying to use the printer in a networked environment. Further help and support can be found in the Mac OS X FAQ and Mac OS X forum.Įven though your printer manufacturer may have supplied a driver for your printer, you may still benefit from these open source drivers. All software required for a particular Mac OS X driver will be listed on that driver's page. The Mac OS X packages and instructions included on this site will help lead you through the process. It may require installing a printer driver, Ghostscript (an open-source PostScript interpreter), foomatic-rip (a CUPS filter script), and a foomatic PPD (PostScript Printer Description) for each supported printer. Rather than using one single installer provided by the printer manufacturer, Mac users may now have to install several pieces of software. Getting these open source drivers to function in the Mac OS X environment can seem a bit confusing. This means that Mac users can now avail themselves of many of the free, open source printer drivers. Beginning with Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), Apple started using the embedded printing system called CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). Welcome to the Mac OS X section of OpenPrinting.
