@Rodine, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Update Printer Drivers: Make sure your printer drivers are up-to-date. Visit the HP support website to download the latest drivers for your printer model.

Reset Printing System: This often resolves driver-related conflicts.

• Open System Preferences on your Mac.
• Click on Printers & Scanners.
• Right-click (or Ctrl + click) on the printer list and select Reset Printing System.
• Re-add your printer after the reset.

Reinstall Printer Software: Uninstall the printer software, then reinstall it from the HP official site or use the HP Easy Start tool for installation.

Check for Software Updates: Ensure your macOS and all applications are updated to the latest version. Sometimes software updates fix compatibility issues.

Manually Add Printer: Sometimes macOS needs the printer added manually via IP or using generic drivers. This might bypass some driver issues causing the "Filter" Failed error.

I hope this helps.
