'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)

Hi! I had the same problem. I solved the Epson "filter failed" problem by deleting the printer from the System Preferences printers list and re-installing the last version of the Epson printer driver for my Mac OS version.

Problem solved!

Have a great day!
