Just updated to Yosemite, which seems very good, but I have a printer problem. I get a Filter error message and suspect I need a new driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 2880. Unfortunately Epson's own Driver Manager software is Windows only. Suggestions please.

Try this:
in Print prefs, delete the printer.
Restart the Mac. Now re-add the printer. It should auto-download and install the new driver.
For Yosemite, drivers have to be the "latest," because Yosemite changes the default location of some print system files.

The dreaded filter error problem! There is a link to Apple in this thread that works for some. Didn't work for me, but the Epson folks are reporting success with it.

Good luck. I ended up after 3 days of screwing with it just installing Mavericks back on my system
Thank you gsahli and MacInWin - I'll give it a whirl - and thanks for the moral support Exodist. At least I've still got my desktop PC to print from, till I get it sorted. Don't want to give upon Yosemite yet. Safari has suddenly become so much more useful.
