Os Lion epson printer error

Macbook Air (new, with Lion)
Epson all in one SX600FW connected WiFi
With my previous MacBook air, no problem
With the new one, the first document of a session i want to print generates an "error" message. The next ones print just fine.
I removed and re-installed the drivers for epson, no result.

HT1800 Installing EPSON printer - error

I bought EPSON printer and set it up as wireless on my two PCs. When I tried adding it to my Mac, it started looking for software, but it's been stuck like that for several hours. When I pressed "cancel" button, it stopped working altogether. Now I can't exit or shut the computer down. This is my first Mac and I'm not familiar with all the commands (like - for PC you can reboot or Ctrl-Alt-Del to get Task Mgr and manipulate programs). I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

you should likely go to epsons site and get the latests driver as anything on any cd shipped with any printer is mostly too old by the time any user buy any printer

Epson printer error after recent sw update

I just installed the latest Snow Leopard software update, including one called Epson Driver updates.
When I try to print on my Epson Workforce 500, I now get the error:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed
How do I fix this? It was working fine before the update.

Had the exact same problem with my cx5500. Snow's made a few things unstable for me including FC Studio. I guess its just a matter of fixing the problems as they come to hand! This solution fixed it all up for me!

Lion Epson Printer Problems

Since installing Lion, I can't print with my two Epson Pro printers (a 4880 and a 7800). Lion drivers for both printers have been properly installed. Printers appear on printing list, and can be selected. But they simply do nothing. Trying to print out of Photoshop.
My little R280 printer works fine.

Only Photoshop.
As of this morning, I downloaded a trial of Aperture and tried printing my Photoshop-worked files. And with Aperture, the printer is working beautifully, with proper paper profiling and everything. It just won't print out of Photoshop. Very strange. But, at least I have my workaround. I am not very interested in preparing and editing my images in Aperture... it really is not quite as deep and artistic as Photoshop... but as long as I can print properly, I will not mind using Aperture just for printing. Especially since color management seems spot on.

I upgraded from leopard to lion and my epson printer will not work. I get a communication error

I upgraded from leopard to lion and my Epson printer will not work. I get a error message comunication error. What can Ido to fix this I bought a new USB cord and it did no good.

I suddenly had the same thing happen. I've had my new iMac for 3 months and at first my Epson Artisan 50 worked okay then yesterday I started getting the same error message other people on this support site have gotten. I tried ALL the advice given (deleating the Epson files from the library folder, etc. reinstalling older software) and nothing worked. With the newest iMac (and operating system) you cannot pick and choose which version of Epson software you want. You must use the 10.8 version or it simply will not open when you've downloaded it. Finally I found the comment above by den.thed and tried the OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system suggested. As much as I hated to lose all my printing presets that took a lot of expiermentation to set up, I was desperate. I tried it and it worked. Now I just have to consult my old computer and try to recreate all my printing set ups. So to others with Epson / Apple 10.8 issues this may help when everything else fails. Thanks den.thed for your advice.

Epson Print CD for Lion

This is the link to upgrade the Epson printers to Lion, including Print CD.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supportLion.jsp

Lion certainly has drivers for some Epson printers. These will allow basic use of the printer. Plugging your printer in and trying it will do no harm.
If you want the additional functions of ICC profiles and CD printing you will have to install the software that came with the printer or download it from the Epson support site.

Epson N515 error message will not print

epson printer will not print. error messasge: "rastertoescpll quite unexpectantly"
Any fix available

Step 1
Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings. Then reinstall the EPSON update.

Step 2
If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
/Library/Printers/EPSON
You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

Print Error Msg re: "rastertoes" using Epson 1400 and Adobe Lightroom

I am unsure if this is a _Mac OS_ issue, an Adobe issue or an Epson issue. I am using an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 with Lightroom 2.6. I successfully printed a snapshot but all subsequent efforts produced the following error message through the Epson printer app:
"Error/Library/Printers/Epson/InjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/M acOS/rastertoescpll failed"
Have reloaded Snow Leopard drivers from Epson, gone through variations of printer set-ups, re-booted, etc. Still the same message.
I would sincerely appreciate someone's help.

John,
I deleted the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder. There wasn't any <hard drive>/Library/Caches/Epson folder unless it was eliminated with the first deletion.
Deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder won't delete the Epson folder in /Caches. Did you do a search for this folder or manually try to find it? Are you looking in the hard drive's Library folder and not your home directory's?
As for "deleting the printer," I note that the Epson 1400 is still a pull down Print option in multiple apps. Is there a way to delete it so it doesn't show anywhere, or will the printer remaining attached (USB) to the computer cause it to be shown?
Go into System Preferences, Print & Fax Prefs, select the printer and hit the '-' sign at the bottom of the printer list.
This is a helpful introduction to printing:

How do I download an update, and how do I know it will discern that the Epson printer apps and drivers are missing?
Use Software Update under the Apple menu to download the update. The software will see that the printer is connected but that there's no software (since you deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder), and it will ask you if you want to download the most recent update. Doing so will replace the contents of the Library/Printers/EPSON. After installing the update, restart, then re-add your printer using the Epson driver.
Thanks,
You're welcome. I hope this helps. john

Printer Error - Epson 3880 & LR and talking with each other?

I am trying to use the Epson 3880 with LR; however, I get a printer error every time I try to print. The error shows up in the printer status and is immediate.
The printer works fine with iPhoto.
It is connected and the Utility is speaking with printer.
I have downloaded the most recent drivers (which haven't been updated by Epson in awhile.)
I have the color being managed by the printer.
What else could it be?
I am very new to this and could use some help.
Thank you in advance.

I suppose that can’t hurt to reinstall.
Do you have a 2nd machine you can try as well?
One thing you might try is logging in as another user and seeing if you can print. IF so, then there’s something in the original log-in Library that’s an issue. I think (I’m not sure) that the driver should be accessible for all users. If however, you can’t print as another user, then its something in the main system that’s at fault here.
You could also try resetting CUPs (the printer system) if you feel comfortable in Terminal. In Terminal type:
sudo cupsd

Communication error with Epson printer SX510W

I am getting a communication error when I try to print on my Epson SX510W wrieless printer. How do I correct this? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.4.
I've tried re-installing the software from the CD-Rom but it won't let me use the Quick Start, It lets me download the print driver and scan driver from the list of software on the disc but that hasn't made any difference. I think it's a problem with the printer and the IP address, how do I correct this. How do I find the correct IP address on the printer?
Sometimes if I turn the printer off and on again, it allows me to print just one page and then stops again.
John Mitchell

Thanks John. I tried deleting the Epson printer folder from the library like you said and then checked for Software Updates. But Apple did not indicate that there were any for my OS (probably because I had installed the latest OS update this morning). So I installed the driver from the Epson site with the printer folder removed. But this did not work because when I tried to print the computer indicated that there were missing files. So, I reinstalled the Epson folder that I had just moved to trash, deleted the new Epson folder, then tried reinstalling the Epson driver with the original folder in place. THIS WORKED! Finally, I am off and printing but with little knowledge gained about the inner workings of my computer.

Well then you could download the Epson Printer Driver package for Lion. This will add all the Epson printers in that list.

How do i reinstall my system 10.8-Having Epson Printer Issues

I am having a massive problem with an Epson Stylus C88+ printer that used to work with my new iMac Late 2012 computer using System 10.8.4
Recently there was an update V2.5 for this printer. Once I installed the update the printer stopped working.
I now get a Epson Filter Failed error message and have tried everything to resolve it I could find on the internet.
Something in that upgrade killed the printer for me and the only thing I could find that I didn't do was to reinstall my system 10.8.
Does anyone know and easy way to do this which won't cause me too much pain? Or is there another fix for this issue?
The printing error message is:
Stopped - 'Filter' failed, 1 page
I tried to rename the computer in the Sharing pref, then went to the Printer and Scan preferences to make sure this is the name I used as well and nothing works.

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings. According to one report, the name must be set to "machd" (without the quotes) in order to get the printer working. After that, you may be able to change the name.
The bug that causes the crash seems to be fixed in the latest version of the Epson printing software.

MacBook Air will not print on wireless Epson printer. It says 'filter failed'

MacBook Air all of a sudden will not print on wireless Epson printer. The error message is 'filter failed'. Shut down everything and rebooted, but still not printing.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select
/var/log ▹ cups ▹ error_log
from the hierarchical list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
