HP Recommended
Product: HP LaserJet CP1025
Operating System: Other
The CP1025 is docked to my home network via USB to either a Time Capsule or an AirPort Express. Always tested both plus direct connection USB to MacBook.
 
Followed some previous tipps from this forum that made me uninstall all preinstalled printer drivers via the HP Uninstaller and then reinstall them.
 
Works:
Printing on old MacBook Pro Mid 2010 running High Sierra
Installed printer: HP LaserJet CP1025, 2.0.20120620
Printer docked to the AirPort Express
 
Doesn't work:
Printing on new MacBook Pro M1 2020 running Big Sur 11.2.1
Locates the printer as: Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet CP1025, type Bonjour
Printer docked to the AirPort Express
 
Tried both tools: HP Easy Start and HP Easy Admin
Both find or list the printer, but then don't find software for it. Both tell me to visit the HP Website to look for product solutions.
 
Also tried the HP Smart for Desktop app, loaded via the App Store. It found my printer and after some work it said, I would be ready for printing. Then guided me through the standard „add printer“ way, but turns out, there haven’t been provided any drivers. Deinstalled the app again.
 
Downloaded and installed "HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS“ via this article I googled (posted Dec 11, 2020):
Installs and finds the same printer driver as on the old MacBook (2.0.20120620)
 
Did a reset on the printing system and finally managed to set up the printer with the old driver mentioned.
 
When trying to print, it immediately brings the error message „Stopped - filter failed“ in the waiting list
No matter if the printer is docked to the AirPort Express, the Time Capsule or directly via USB to the MacBook
 
Also exchanged all cables.
 
Tried a standard PCL driver, too (HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5). The test print ran through the waiting list (without the filter error message), then vanished as if it was regularly done, but the printer remained silent.
 
Any idea anyone? Thanks for all help, very much appreciated.
