Epson Printer Filter Failure with rastertoescpII

Having the same problem after accepting a software update in the App Store application ( /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII)

I tried tricks from other topics like removing the printer (an Epson SX125). The driver installed quicly and silently again, unfortunately with the same error again.

I tried loading software from Epson support directly but this did not kill the beast either.

Waiting for more information on forums or a new software update.

If possible, restore the following folder from a backup (such as a Time Machine snapshot) that was made before you installed the update:

/Library/Printers/EPSON

Just to make sure we're all on the same page you're referring to this Library folder

and not the invisible Users/Home/Library folder.

OT

Do you know of any other solutions if no such backup exists?

No.

Time Machine doesn't seem to take snapshots of the /Library folder.

In the sidebar of a Finder window, select the icon representing your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) At the top level of the volume are folders with these names, among others:

• Applications
• Library
• System

Enter Time Machine and select the most recent snapshot, which is behind the frontmost window. Are those folders present in the snapshot?

Then you have another, unrelated, problem with Time Machine. It's too late to do anything about the printing problem except to contact EPSON support, which is probably a waste of time, or wait for an update to fix the defective drivers. I have no idea when, if ever, that update will be released.

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including exclusions. The backups won't be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
