Or just get a rip and don't use printer drivers. Most rip allows you
to profile proofer for rgb printing also besides cmyk. Rgb is the way
to go for photographers. The best rips (I am using gmg) can even print
16-bit files.
Rips cost money but at least you don't go crazy each time apple
updates system.

Most members of this list using Macs are now reduced to using various
workarounds. Some other members of this list will give you topic by
topic advice, but I would recommend that you regress one of your
machines to install disks, download Epson drivers and Photoshop
updates, and use it as a stable printing machine exclusively. This is
what I do - I have a machine which has profiling and printing
production software installed, and which I try not to tamper with.
If you can set up a working configuration you can then use CCC to
clone the boot partition to a spare $80 hard disk. If one day the
computer fails, you can go to the used market and just get another
machine of the same generation which can boot with the same disk.
Although Apple is to blame for creating this mess, the issues with
unstable software updates are a general problem with computer
companies (see the Prius debacle - does Toyota really want those
issues?) and fortunately in your case you can take the usual steps to
protect your system and data. Cloning a car's passengers is harder.
