anyone else? solutions?
thanks

Yes, i've done everything i found online too... I returned the MacBook 16 and it works fine on my MacBook air m1- works fine with 12.0.1 (waiting for other shoe to drop)

With what computer are you having the problem?

tuesday I was having an issue with my xfinity modem/router, and yesterday I swapped it out at the x store for a new modem/router. as soon as the modem/router was activated, and all my devices were back online, the first thing I did was check my printer. It worked !!! no more "filter failed." not sure why others are getting the same error message?
