How To Add Printing Apps On Apple Mac Pro

 

I managed to work out the problem with the Epson tech support people. The ‘Filter’ Failed error seems to me to be the result of something corrupt, or otherwise not right, in the driver software. I do think an uninstaller script made by Epson, or better Apple, would be a good idea. In the old days of the Mac, we could uninstall components and reinstall components of the OS. Now everything is hidden, or so complex that, once something is installed and then develops an issue, it is not possible to easily figure out how to uninstall it.

Apple’s Macintosh operating system (macOS) has included system-level support for PDF files for 20 years now since the original Mac OS X Public Beta. The PDF printer feature is available from almost any application that allows printing, such as Safari, Chrome, Pages, or Microsoft Word. Here’s how to do it. Open the document you’d like to print to a PDF file. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select File Print. A printing dialog will open up. Ignore the Print button. Select the plus-sign (+) and choose Add Printer or Scanner. When the Add window appears, click IP at the top of the window. Here you can enter the printer’s address on the network. Your Printers folder opens. Choose Edit Select All to select all items in the folder. Choose File New Folder with Selection to put all of the selected items into a new folder named New Folder With Items. Follow the step 6 above to add your printer again and give it a try.

This should work for other printers, so step 10 would be to go to the support page for your printer; d.) If the support page does not offer a downloadable file, follow the steps for Adding A Printer as you normally would in Printers & Scanners of the Systems Preferences.

Pity the poor macOS Print dialog: it’s been around so long, and we don’t really look at it much. This is likely why Mac 911 receives regular (though not constant) questions about print settings.
