After installing Leopard, I am having a difficult time with shared printing. The printer is an Epson Stylus CX7400. It is hardwired to a G-5 iMac which is hard wired to my home network (Linksys router). Whenever I try to print something (wirelessly) off my PowerBook, I receive the following error message:

/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/rastertoescp failed

Does anyone know what this means? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the problem.

BTW, I am able to print wirelessly through the network about 50% of the time. Weird.

A user named "MisterMe" over at Macrumors posted this response to a very similar error to what you're experiencing:

I am betting that you are trying to use vendor-supplied drivers to print to networked printers. Vendor-supplied drivers are usually for a USB connection. You cannot use a USB driver to control a Windows-shared printer. You have to download and install the CUPS driver for your model Epson.


Dunno if that helps. The original forum post is here: 2 printers on the network, Can only connect to 1 - Mac Forums

Thanks Mark! That did the trick! I downloaded the Gutenprint driver and I am back in business!
