Epson Printer Error "Stopped - 'Filter' failed

Here we go again. I've been dealing with this FOR YEARS.

Try to print wirelessly from Mac, met with error message,

Stopped - 'Filter' failed

This happens with multiple devices (2 Macbooks and an iMac),

this happens with multiple OS's (Catalina on iMac, Big Sur, Monterey on Macbooks),

and this happens with multiple Epson printers (old Artisan 730, new XP-6100).

I've done everything to try to fix: Updated, deleted, and reinstalled drivers, reset printing systems, powered everything off/on a zillion times - trust me, EVERYTHING. I've read all the forum entries, work arounds, and stupid voodoo chants... nothing works. Sometimes a reinstall works for a short time (one or two print jobs), but then I get the dreaded, "Daaaad, the printers not working again!"

C'mon Apple and Epson!!! Why can't there be a solution for this problem after ALL THIS TIME???

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
