[SOLVED] Epson prints an all gray page

I have an Epson WorkForce 615 multifunction. It was setup on the LAN using its built-in wireless, but it would frequently have errors, fail to print, or take forever to print. I switched it to a wired connection hoping to solve these issues. After the switch, all of the Windows machines print beautifully - no more errors. However, on the one Arch machine it now only prints a full page of all gray.

I have tried downgrading CUPS, trying a different driver, and simply deleting the printer and adding it again. It accepts the job from the Arch box and acts like it is working correctly, then prints a full page of gray ink. It is quite bizarre. Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Epson prints an all gray page

i think this is probably related to other issues with the latest versions of ghostscript.  there is currently a bug report here --->  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25506

what version of ghostscript do you have installed now?  the version that works for me is 9.02-2, try downgrading to that one and see if it works.
