I managed to work out the problem with the Epson tech support people. Tried making PDFs and then printing from Adobe Acrobat and from Apple Preview Tried installing software from Epson website (I can’t find the ‘combo’ package mentioned the first time I tried submitting this problem and lost everything had to rewrite about my issue. Remove Epson folder from Libraries/Printers Set up both wireless and USB printers in Printers & Scanners Reset Printing System (Control-Click on printer list) in Printers & Scanners I seem to be OK for now, but I had to leave the computer all night after a Restart to find it working this morning. My computer has been freezing and restarting often would not result in the computer successfully coming back up. I may have other issues happening and I am sure they are separate from this problem which I have had in the past. Is there a definitive solution for this problem? This seems to be a common problem many users are having with many other printers for other manufacturers. At one point, printing from any application would cause it to simply quit. This time I have not found a way around this despite following many suggested solutions from your website and others. I have had this before and managed to find a way to print something simple (B+W text) first (I think). I am getting the notorious 'Filter' failed error message. With delivery estimates for the new Mac Pro already extending into February 2014, by the time multimedia mavens start receiving their hardware the developers will have a fair amount of time to bring their apps up to speed.Message to Apple support communities and to Epson Support

Even with a single FirePro and an eight-core processor it'll certainly be a decent showing nonetheless, but it'll take third-party developers coding to support the Mac Pro's hardware to really unlock the potential. That will mean that, for the moment at least, those who do their video editing in something like Adobe Premiere simply won't see the benefits the Mac Pro brings. On the flip side, without that optimization, GPU-centric applications won't deliver their best since they'll only take advantage of one of the FirePro cards.

It takes a little while before you realize what you're suddenly able to do, with that sort of flexibility, but once you're familiar with it – like, perhaps, the surfeit of horsepower behind the gas pedal of a Stingray – it's hard to imagine working without it.

Trying out a filter (or ten) or changing video speed no longer comes with a performance penalty: you're free to simply give it a look and then change back if it doesn't work out.

It's testament to Apple's combination of finessed software and AMD's capable FirePro graphics cards, and it makes a legitimate difference to the experience of video editing.
