Unable to start filter "cgpdftoraster"

Most print unable or unable to print are either due to a corrupt print job or a size not compatible with your printer. If you are using Windows OS, go to your "Printers and Devices" option and left click on the printer icon for the model your using. you will see a bar that will expand to include the phase "see what's printing". Click on that option and it will show you all jobs pending and if there is an error message with that job. Click on that job, then click on "Document" go to "Cancel" to remove that specific job.

How To Fix It - The fix is simple. You need to clear the print queue manually so that all the print jobs currently in the queue are deleted properly - once the queue is empty you should then be able to print new documents without problems. We will show you how below, depending on whether you use XP or Vista/7:
1. XP - click 'Start' then click 'Run' and in the Run window type CMD then press 'OK' - this opens a Command Prompt window. Now skip to Step 3.
2. Vista/7 - click 'Start' and type Command in the search box. Right click on the 'Command Prompt' result in the search results above it and select 'Run As Administrator' - this opens a Command Prompt window.
3. All version of Windows - in the Command Prompt window (these commands are also shown in the picture below):
4. Type net stop spooler then press the Enter key.
5. Type del %windir%\system32\spool\printers\*.* /q then press the Enter key (Note: the only spaces in this command are a single space between del and %, and a single space between * and /q)
6. Type net start spooler then press the Enter key.
7. Type exit then press the Enter key to exit the Command Prompt window.
Fixing the print queue
This should have cleared the print queue (i.e. all print jobs have been deleted) and you can now submit new jobs for printing
What Do These Commands Do?
The Command Prompt is a throwback to the pre-Windows days of Microsoft DOS but is still a useful way to type and enter system commands. The print Spooler is basically the print 'queue' - we need to Stop it running before we can Delete documents stuck in it.
The Del command deletes everything currently held in the print queue, including the 'stuck' document(s). We then have to Start the Spooler (print queue) up again so that it can accept new print job requests in future.
What If It Keeps Happening?
If the problem only occurs occasionally it is likely just due to an incompatibility with the actual data being printed ( a webpage that has unusual fonts or some other format that the printer is unable to convert into printed output - run the above fix to resolve it.)
However, if you find that almost all documents keep getting stuck in the print queue then Microsoft's answer is that it is an issue with your printer drivers (software) - one solution may be to download and update new printer drivers from the manufacturer. You could also try the Microsoft automatic Fix It for printers . This will repeat our fix above but may also flag up/fix any different Windows errors that stop printing.
Other causes may include a misconfigured printer e.g. network printing to an IP address that doesn't exist uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software from scratch should fix this.

May be a paper jam causing it.

Or you have given prior command which is still in the Print.

Try to open the Print Window by :

Start --> setting /Control panel--> Print and Faxes --> the select the printer and open the window

Cancel all document if still there.

After then, go to start -- > Run--> Type --> msconfig
Go to start up Tab --> Uncheck the entries for printer and then restart the computer. It will definetly fix the error.

Have a nice day. Dont forget to vote me.
