HP LaserJet CP1025nw unable to print, "Filter failed" with macOS Mojave 10.14.2

[Dave_Hendricks]

After upgrading to Mojave 10.14.2, I cannot print to my HP LaserJet CP1025nw from Preview or other Apple applications. The printer app says: "Stopped - 'Filter' failed".
My printer is a LaserJet CP1025nw and not a LaserJet Pro CP1025nw.
I've upgraded the firmware in the printer to the latest (20130826), which I installed with the installer LJCP1020_FW_Upgrade-20180302.dmg.
I can print PDF files from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and I can print PDF files that I email to the printer. Why aren't Apple applications able to print?

2.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.

5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint or secure AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.

Thanks!  This solved my problem!

Just curious - did the firmware update to 20130826 add AirPort support?

You are welcome, Dave 🙂 

Not sure which version of the firmware added the AirtPrint support. This is the document I refereed to make sure that the HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw is compatible with Apple AirPrint.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out to us. Have a great day!
