Just change pi ---> %pi. Then it works
(D18) FALSE
(C19) solve( taylor( cos(x)/x-c, x, %pi/2, 1), x);
(D19) [x = -(%PI*C-%PI)/2]
(C20)
To Maxima pi is just another symbol while %pi is the circular constant.

Subject: [Maxima] Expand/approx all terms in equation
I want to have all the constants, and constant functions (including
sine,cosine) shown in a numeric form (approximate value I know) rather
than the symbolic form. I have tried combinations of ev, rectform, and
expand, all without luck.
I want to show a numeric form of:
solve( taylor( cos(x)/x-c, x, pi/2, 1), x);
