"Stopped - 'Filter' failed" Error Message

After upgrading to macOS Sierra, when attempting to send a test print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2200, I get the "Stopped - 'Filter' failed" error message in my print queue.

I left-clicked on the Printer -> Error Log menu item, and I have the following in the error log.

Troubleshooting Steps

In an effort to address this problem, I followed the steps outlined in the "Resolve printer issues on your Mac" article. I reset the printing system and that did not work. I also unplugged the printer, removed the contents of the /Library/Printers/ folder, and then plugged the printer back in.
