Q: Epson 'filter failed'

Is it the same filter failure as shown here:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/23715695?ac_cid=tw123456#23715695

What kind if Epson? Have you updated the drivers if the printer is supported? Does it happen from all apps?

I had the 'Filter Failure' problem too (on my Epson PX730WD).

Tried everything but nothing helped.

then I noted that I could print from Word but not from Adobe Reader (pdf).

My problem was that Ghostscript (postscript / pdf interpreter software) apparently was broken.

http://www.ghostscript.com/download/

does not provide installers for Mac OSx (just sources)

With google, I found

and

http://www.bestfreewaredownload.com/download/t-free-ghostscript-for-mac-os-x-fre eware-hlidifhu.html

that provided packages for Mac OSx (Mavericks in my case).

Download, Install

Problem solved!

Okay, regarding this problem:

I'm trying to print to an Advent AW10 printer from an Imac running Yosemite 10.10.1 and it's been driving me nuts for the last two months...

I got on to Advent yesterday and recieved this instruction from their support team this morning and it worked and I'm now printing away merrily:

Please follow below steps:

In Spotlight search window type Terminal and then press Enter.

This should bring up the terminal window/program.

In the Terminal type:

sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' then press Enter.

It will ask for your password. Please enter system password.(You will not see password entering)

After that type following:

sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd then press Enter.

Try Printing.

I don't think this is specific to Advent and is rather simply an 'opening up' of something blocking the 'printer channels' (layman's terms obviously)

Hope this helps people out!

This worked for me. Thanks! I wasn't able to print more than one copy of a document and getting filter failed error. But after following your instructions, everything is fine.

It worked!  Thank you!!

However, I've now changed printers and assume I don't need this any more.  I'd like to remove/reverse this sandboxing relaxed, to reset my printer settings.  Can I?  how do I?

thanks!!
