I am getting the error "Stopped - 'Filter' failed" when printing to my USB printer while using Microsoft Remote Desktop. The printer in question, a Canon imageClass MF236n, prints fine when I'm printing from macOS but I get this error when I'm logged in to Remote Desktop. I have another printer, also a Canon, that prints fine when I am logged in but it is wireless so I'm thinking it's something to do with the USB connection. Anyone have suggestions?

I experienced the same error after upgrading from Mojave to Monterey. I have a Lexmark printer connected via USB to an iMac. After unsuccessfully trying various actions found around the Web, I ended up downloading a fresh copy of the printer driver software from Lexmark's website. Now that the "new" driver is installed, I'm able to print as before.

I am just now seeing this, sorry! It happens when I print from anything other than PDF.
