How do I get rid of this error?

bump..i get the same thing

 

This error is caused by an errant entry in the launchd configuration files. There's a free utility called Lingon that's useful for editing these - if you can track down the offending entry and remove it, you'll probably need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

 

look in /Library/LaunchAgents

i found the offending launchd agent and removed it by doing the following in the Terminal (Utilities folder). the lines starting with $ are things i typed (don't include the "$") and the other lines are output i saw in the terminal:

Code:

$ launchctl list | grep epson
-	1	com.epson.epw.agent

then i used the label in the last column to remove it

Code:

$ launchctl remove com.epson.epw.agent

this stopped the console errors. i also removed the file from /Library/LaunchAgents/com.epson.epw.agent.plist

http://developer.apple.com/MacOsX/launchd.html has more info on launchd.

I have Snow Leopard 10.63 on my Macbook and have this same problem. I just got this popup now when I tried to Secure Empty Trash. Not only that I just lost my Back and Forward navigation buttons. But I'm a Mac newbie so this may be unrelated to the Epson problem. I have the Artisan 50 Epson printer. Still waitng for the rebate after almost 3 months. Damn! I can't navigate back and forth and it really is a big headache. I need help.

jnichols959, you just saved my bacon! I am trying to backtrack some behavior patterns with the Console, but all the info I needed was wiped out by the redundant repetiton of this stoopid 'feature' from Epson. Thanks for your contribution. To davenoyb who has (?) this issue: I would like to offer some kind of encouragement, but I am not really sure if I even understand the problem. What popup did you get? & Gregg2 gave you a good place to start.
Mayhap you can come forth with more info & the wizardry can begin! It sure did work for me!

(Props, guys.)

Edit: I just posted my reply, and noticed this too-rich-to-ignore ad under my post:

Thanks, jnichols959!

It fixed me up, too! No telling how long this has been going on. I'll never buy an Epson printer again.

 

Thanks

This has bugged me for years, ever since I had the misfortune of trying an Epson printer.
