Apple updates has caused my browser pdf plugins not to work and my print function not to work.

After download the Apple updates for printers for OS 10.6.8, I cannot get the Adobe plugins in my browsers to work. Safari will open but it has a cross hatch over it making it unreadable. Other browsers will not open pdf files. None of them will save the file to my computer. What needs to be done?

I went to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins and then deleted "Adobe PDF ViewerNPAPI.plugin". This was the most recent plug-in addition from the update. Doing this allowed me to view and save PDFs from the internet to my computer.


However, I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to print! I have an Epson Workforce 435 series and everytime I try to print I get an error message that "rastertoescpii failed". I have downloaded open source drivers and deleted and reinstalled epson drivers from the CD as well as the internet, among many other things. I wish I could find a solution to this because it is making me crazy. Any help would be great!
