Q: How do I fix Epson ET-2500 filter failure on launched version of sierra?

It worked well on all the betas, and still works on a laptop with beta 8. All attempts to print is stopped by a message of "Filter Failure"

    This issue is affecting a lot of people using different printers and from different manufactures - I have the same issue but with a Canon printer/scanner. Not sure for Epson but on Canon web site they do confirm that an issue exists and they are working with Apple to resolve, they have also posted a temporary work around that involves exporting the file to TIFF before printing.

     

    You could check on Epson web site to see if they have any similar information which could confirm they are aware of the issue, what printers are affected and what/when a fix could be available.

     

    If everything was ok in beta it looks as though the final release had a few changes that did help on the printing front, either way, think we will have to wait for manufacturers to release drivers designed specifically for Sierra before it gets resolved.
