sorry, Angel L, I don't know what 'PrinterProxy' is, but according to Epson's website, the latest driver was released 09-25-2013, the print cd utility was released on 08-01-2013. For printer drivers, just do a 'software update' from the Apple menu, if an update comes up, install it, , then grab the print CD utility and install that . Epson's position is that it's in Apple's hands now. If you want updated drivers, your best best would be, I suppose, do the 'software update' thing.
So, you'd have to go into printing and scanning, under system preferences, delete the printer, then click on the Plus sign to add one, then choose the Epson driver. then finish. If you have a printer proxy set up, from within the print dialog, hold down the Command and Option keys while selecting your desired printer from the popup button. Unfortunately, the article I got this info from mentions 10.6/10.7 and nothing about 10.9. Don't know why you need a printer proxy, anyways, but there's lots of stuff I don't know. See if you can delete the PrinterProxy and print via usb. Other than that, maybe Gimp Print?
sorry, I tried, but the crystal ball has gone dark
