Rastertoescpll failed message for Epson after installing Snow Leopard
After I installed Snow Leopard, I went to Epson and downloaded the new drivers for both my Epsons. My RX595 works perfectly, but everytime I try to print with my R260, I get this error: Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/rastertoescpll failed. I've tried reinstalling the new drivers and also tried unplugging printer, rebooting computer, then plugging printer back in....all to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem? I would appreciate any advice you could provide. Thank you.

I just fixed a problem with the same error on an Epson 1400 attached to a Mac Tower Pro. I essentially had to clean install the printer driver and remove 2 printing prefs. I'm doing this from memory and don't have a Mac in front of me, so bare with me:
1. I went to system preferences/Printers and removed the printer by highlighting and selecting the "-" button.
2. Then I went into the HD system folder/users/ library/printers (I don't recall the exact path) and searched out a couple of printer prefs; one was called printer pref.plist and another file "...printer cache (sp?)" to the desktop. I held on to them in case I made a bad choice of removing files. I'd trash them after I knew it was working again.
3. I downloaded the latest driver from Epson. Note: DO NOT USE THE CD that came with the printer if it was obtained before Snow Leopard came out. Download the latest driver from EPSON.
4. Reinstall the downloaded EPSON driver.
5. Check the printer prefs to ensure it's the default printer and the queue is clear and the printer utility monitoring is talking to the printer.
6. Send a test print from email, web page, Adobe product.
7. I went on to regression test a few other peripherals that were attached to the tower, like an Epson Scanner, before I called it a success.
8. I trashed those two pref files that I pulled from the library.
9. Life is printing good again for my client.
