'Filter' failed error when printing from EPSON

I have an Epson TX420W all-in-one printer, and recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, after reading that I wouldn't have any issues printing after the upgrade. Before the upgrade, I had all Epson drivers up to date (through Software update).

Now when I try to print, after 'Looking up printer', this is what I see:

I can't check the supplies level either. 😟

I checked the EPSON support & drivers page, but couldn't find an updated driver for my printer (only up to 10.7.x)

Does anyone had the same experience or a workaround to this until an driver update comes out?

Thanks in advance!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

A quick fix, working for me so far, is to switch my Mac's WIFI off and back on.

I've looked at the logs but it didn't state which. 😟

These are all complaints and more questions...Where is Apple on this issue? I need answers and and fundamentally I need my Epson WF P4730 to PRINT!!!
