epson r1900 won't print- says unsupported color space

Will not print- Just as stated- unsupported color space. New iMC W/ Mavrick. I reloaded the printer 3-4 times. Says CMYK or grey scale- whenI went to greyscale, it did print a super fine print(used lots ink). I have tried every other settings to no avail. I have tried Google and lots of complaints with this problem but no fixes!! Help-Please. I also have a Canon laser printer that prints fine!!! HELP???

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Epson Stylus Photo R 1900 printer

What did Epson tech support tell you?

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14141 OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 Printer and scanner software available for download

Sometimes, installing the GIMP drivers help with printing issues: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

After spending 2 hours on the phone with Epson- we determind that Apple had put in version 1.5 for the driver and I needed ver 9.00 and the system would not download the correct file. I was going to call Apple and decided to try once more. I did a printer reset- rebooted the computer and walla... Software update did it for me and downloaded the 9.00 verwsion and I'm up and running!! The reset did the trick as was sent to me as a repair.

Thanks MUCHO!!!
