The ‘es_macosx_printer_driver’ file is a JAR file (Java Archive). It requires Java to be installed on the system and for Java to be the default launcher for the JAR file type. Most likely another program replaced Java as the default for opening JAR files. You can manually execute the installer by bringing up a shell prompt and typing ‘java -jar /DIRECTORY/es_macosx_printer_driver.jar’ where DIRECTORY is the full path to where the JAR file was saved. If there are any spaces in the DIRECTORY path, make sure you use ‘\’ in front of each space. This acts as an escape character to allow the spaces to work properly.
