My Photoshop CS5 keeping crashing when I select my Epson Printing option - Custom sizes management.

Question

Hello PLEASE I need some help, it's driving mad!
My Photoshop CS5 - Keeps crashing every time I go into my custom size management option.
I use an Epson SX125  - my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
The printer and software worked fine a few months ago, now I am having issues all over again.  Photoshop is up to date (all updates installed) and all my epson drivers are up to date as well.
Any ideas?
This is the error massage:

HI Ohhh Kaye,
This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS.  I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2.  However the problem seems similar.  I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files.  These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them.  If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
The workaround that worked for me:  Open the old photoshop file.  Jot down the dimensions.  Create a new file w/same dimensions.  Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once.  Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file.  Close the old file.  Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected).  Then save the new file.  Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it.  That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop.  Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
Hope it works for you OSX people too.
