Epson Printer Filter Failure with rastertoescpII

yuengdog1983 is a peach! thank you

Many thanks you are spot on, I wouldn't have got there in a million years!

Thank you very much！！

I have solved this problem🙂

Thank you, Yuengdog. I wish I'd found this before I called Apple to find out this exact same thing, though I'm happy they now know there's at least one more person having this problem (I also told them many people seem to be having the same, or similar problem). Looks like your post is doing most of Apple & Epson's work. You ROCK!

Fantastic ! Worked for me, even though I run Snow Leopard and not Lion :-D

Thanks a lot for sharing this precious info.

Brilliant!! Thanks so much. We don't need no stinkin Genius Bar!!

I have been pulling the last little bit of hair that I have out for days now! Works like a charm! Thanks!

Yuendong1983, thanks a lot! That solved my problem, too!

Wow! After spending hours and hours following every lead and suggestion I finally found your fix and thought well I've tried everythingelse, why not? Boom, fixed quick and simple. Thank you so much, keep up the good advice!

Laughter & Happiness,

LAR

Thanks so much, so simple after making me so crazy !

Please help me, I have read all the comments about how well everybody go with the computer renaming to be able to print. I have tried all. I search for answers all over internet, apple, epson and others with no luck. I think I´m close to fixing this problem when talking to you. Please help me, renaming the computer on Mavericks has not solved the problem I still get the "Filter failed" message. I know it worked for many people but I feel left behind. Please, please help.

Same problem here with Epson NX305, I updated from appstore and had this filter issue.

I tried above solution from Yuengdog1983 and didn't work for me yet. In case the above solution doesn't work, try this that worked for me:

Do what Yuengdog1983 suggested first - same instructions here from Epson:

IF that doesnt work right away

Then:

1. Unplug the printer from your mac
2. Turn off the printer
3. Delete/Remove the printer from System preferences > Printers & Scanners
4. Turn on the printer again
5. Plug it back in to your mac
6. Go back to System preferences > Printers & Scanners and you should see it installed again

Thats it, should print. Worked for me after doing that.

Thanks Yuengdog1983 for original solution also.

Bonjour,

J'ai le même problème que «lilaundgelb» c'est-à-dire: «rastertoescpII failed» avec imprimante Epson Stylus NX510. Je crois comprendre que vous suggérez une solution mais je ne comprends pas tout en anglais, notamment tout ce que vous expliqué avec le Time Machine. Est-ce possible de me l'expliquer en français? J'ai essayé plusieurs des solutions proposées dans les forums et par le biais de Epson support mais aucune des solutions ne marche! (Ex: changé le nom de l'ordinateur dans Préférences Système/partage ou encore désinstallé l'imprimante et réintialisé l'impression ...) J'ai également téléchargé Gutenprint mais le pilote pour EPSON Stylus NX510 figure dans leur liste mais n'est pas suivi de .gutenprint à la suite du nom. Bref, j'ai réellement besoin d'aide. Merci à l'avance.

This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty

Open System Preferences and choose Sharing

Enter a name for your computer

Restart the Computer

Test if you are able to print

Le problème vient du nom de l'ordinateur qui n'a pas été précisé.

Allez dans les préférences Système et choisir "Partage"

Donnez-y un nom à votre ordi

Redémarrez

En principe ça suffit et vous devriez pouvoir imprimer à nouveau.

J'avais déjà essayé cette solution, je l'ai ré-essayée de nouveau mais le message d'erreur est encore là ainsi que «hors ligne» et une mini icône jaune avec un ~ blanc s'affiche sur l'icône de l'imprimante. Toujours pas de possibilité d'imprimer. J'ai également refait la configuration réseau de l'imprimante avec mon nouveau routeur pour être sûre que de ce côté-là le wifi fonctionne bien. Merci pour votre aide.
