  1. Addresses a “Filter Failed” error when printing to some Canon printers.

    Thank you. (One of my submissions to Apple).

    Boring details (for the boring like me): 😉 I had one specific page (in a Sony manual PDF) that triggered the filter fail. I had to print around that page using Preview. I then had to (gross me out) use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (a PITA) to print the deadly single page. I was printing to the Canon MX880 series driver.

    I don’t see other bugs I reported fixed, but I haven’t joined the update queue until now…

      1. One of the synchronistic subjects of my week has been the confrontation between relational personalities and productive personalities out in the human world of communication. We productive personalities are ‘boring’ because we don’t converse in the same way about the same things as relational personalities. Except we productive personalities find the things that relational personalties converse about to be boring.

        Example Subject: The Kardashians.

        My point of view: The Kardashians are a boring, irrelevant subject. I want to talk about the recent discovery that many or most Android OS devices using ARM CPUs can be entirely owned in 5 seconds using rowhammer RAM attack methods. It was the discussion topic on the Security Now podcast on Tuesday. I want to know if the attack can be applied to iOS devices as well…

        Boring is yet another thing in the mind of the beholder.
