/usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed (Epson Stylus Photo 1400)

10.5.2 appears to have added support for my printer when it is plugged in to my airport express - before I upgraded it did not work at all, now it works almost perfectly.

However, when i try to print a book from aperture (Aperture 2.0 Trial), the printer bounces on the dock and the job says that it is working, then an error flashes up and disappears and then the status changes to "stopped".

I managed to take a screenshot in the second that the error is displayed, and it is as follows:

"/usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed"

I have not tried printing a book when the printer is directly plugged into my laptop yet, as this is the first time that I have ever tried - everything else seems to work perfectly (Printing photos / printing from Lightroom), but not printing this book.

The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (A3+), but it does not seem to be a printer problem - as it never tries to send the file to the printer, it breaks before it gets that far.

Does anyone know why this is happening and have any suggestions about how to fix it?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I concur, Aperture 2.0.1 on OS X 10.5.2 was NOT able to print to the Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and resulted in an "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftoraster failed" message at the print driver.

Exporting the image from Aperture to Photoshop, and printing using Photoshop, printed effortlessly; I was even able to use "Super B" paper (13"x19") Sheet-Feeder Borderless with Ultra Premium Photo Paper Semi-Glossy.
