MacOS 10.15 (Catalina): “EPSON Printer.pkg can’t be opened” when trying to install a driver Wi-Fi Setup function on Epson Printer Finder is not working since upgrading to iOS 13 Printer Settings layout has changed since upgrading to macOS Catalina 10.15. Register Your Product. To register your new product, click the button below. As there is no more possibility to use the cd in my MacBook I downloaded the epson install navi (not once, and the last time from the epson support email, so that should be the right one). It starts nicely, but then it cannot install it, so I am not getting through. I tried to add the ip address of the printer to the printers, did not help either. All-In-Ones: you will need to download both Epson Scan and the Driver. It is important to ensure that you install Epson Scan first. Creativity Software, Other Software, ICC Profiles These contain optional utilities and supporting files to help you get the most out of your product, but are generally not required to use it.
I managed to work out the problem with the Epson tech support people. The ‘Filter’ Failed error seems to me to be the result of something corrupt, or otherwise not right, in the driver software. I do think an uninstaller script made by Epson, or better Apple, would be a good idea. In the old days of the Mac, we could uninstall components and reinstall components of the OS. Now everything is hidden, or so complex that, once something is installed and then develops an issue, it is not possible to easily figure out how to uninstall it. There is a way to Reset the Printing System (Control-Click on the printer list of Printers & Scanners in System Preferences, but a further reinstall step needs to be added. What about other components in the system? How does one do a reinstall of something that may go wrong?
In the instructions from Epson below, you can use Command-Shift G in the Finder, then, a.) Replace 'space'>'space with /; b.) Make sure the items are moved to trash and not just copied; c.) This should work for other printers, so step 10 would be to go to the support page for your printer; d.) If the support page does not offer a downloadable file, follow the steps for Adding A Printer as you normally would in Printers & Scanners of the Systems Preferences.

Upgraded to new MacBook Pro (os High Sierra) and need to install driver for Epson NX420. When setting it up and the printer is found, under 'Add' it does not show the driver and notes 'Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.' When I go to the Epson site for the driver download it says 'The latest printer driver for this product is available from Apple's Software Update.'
How do I get the driver? It seems each company is pointing back at the other. Very frustrating as it worked when I initially set up my Mac but after having to do a wipe and start fresh, now it won't find the software.
Thanks!
