Have you tried saving to the hard drive and then coping the file from there to the SD card?

You could also try formatting the SD card.  They can develop corrupt memory sectors and those areas can't be written to.

If you go for fomatting, remember that it will wipe out all files on the card so back up any you want to save.

(If there is corruption on the SD you might not be able to get your files off it.)

What printer is it?  Some don't like file names over 16 characters and others can't handle large capacity memory cards.

Some don’t like folders, spaces, only specific file extensions, require specific folder structures, use custom file extensions , and on and on and on. 
 

you need to tell us a bit more about your set up including the printer and computer (with os).

My older 8 bit mainboard can print from a sub-folder on the card, but not from the LCD.  The file has to be called out in a very particular fashion and can only be done with a script calling out the file with an M23 command sent to the printer and using the DOS 8.3 filename.  That took some cogitatin' to figure out.  The form for a file in "NewFolder" is:

"\NEWFOL~1/SUBFOL~1.GCO".

Removing the drive letter wasn't bad but having to replace the back-slash with a fore-slash was NOT obvious.

Did you know you can accidentally format an sd card with riser fs if you don’t pay attention on one of my playgrounds? Enders don’t like riser fs sd cards.

I haven't tried BTRFS but I'm assuming they don't like it and that means they have very poor taste.

It's pretty much only Windows that uses backslashes in file paths. Everything else uses forward slashes.
