Can't print

I use my Epson workforce 630 quite frequently and never a problem. But suddenly I get the error message 'Filter' failed, which keeps me from printing anything.

I use a MacBook Air.

Suggestions?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

Dreaded "filter failed" printer error iMac running Monterey. Printing a large print job on my Epson 3760. Stopped printing, now anything I try and print I get the 'filter' failed error. Both on same network, been working fine for almost 2 years. Uninstalled everything, no printers appear to reinstall. Next day, both printers appeared in the install box. My label printer installed no problem. Epson wouldn't install. It now will not appear any longer. I've updated the drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times. I got it to print on my mobile printer but that uses WIFI direct. I've tried installing using the IP address, it installed and the error is the same. I just ordered another printer thinking that was the issue. I'm on day 5, I have a small business, I can't survive without a printer. Should I reinstall an older OS version (and if so - how do I do that)?

‘Filter Fail’ printing to Epson Stylus Pro 9600 Printing to Epson Stylus Pro 9600 from Mac OS Mohave, I get ‘Filter Fail’ error message. The message appeared after a sheet fed job stopped about an inch before the print is completed. Epson quit supporting the 9600 a couple of years ago, hence the Mohave running on an older Mac just for the printer. The official Epson website offers a 2021 or 2022 driver update for the 9600 which I installed. But now, instead of the print cutting off before finishing occurring prior to the error message, the system now shows the error before it even attempts to print. I seem to be dead in the water and would be grateful for any input. Am I screwed?
