![]() If you still have problems, try a different version of printer software. If you’re using a network printer or a printer connected to your Mac, make sure you have the latest version of the software for the printer. On your Mac, to find out which version of printer software you’re using, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners in the sidebar.Ĭlick the printer in the Printers list on the right, then check the Driver version.Ĭontact with the printer manufacturer to see if you have the latest driver version. If you’re using a printer that another user is sharing, make sure you’re both using the same version of the printer software. If necessary, install the latest printing software that came with the printer or from the manufacturer’s website. Make sure you have the correct version of your printer’s software (also called its printer driver). If you still can’t print, see the additional troubleshooting information below. If the printer’s name appears in the hardware list but the printer doesn’t work, review the printer’s documentation for further troubleshooting information. Press and hold Option, then choose Apple menu > System Information. If your printer is connected to your computer’s USB port, check the System Report to see that it has an active connection. If you use a shared printer connected to another Mac, make sure the Mac has macOS 10.5 or later installed, isn’t in sleep, and has sharing turned on. ![]() If the network has multiple printers, check which printer you chose-it may be different from the one you think you chose. If the printer is on the network, make sure your Mac and the printer are still on the same network, the printer is turned on, and the network isn’t experiencing problems. If your printer is connected to your Mac, make sure the printer cable is firmly connected, and the printer is plugged into an electrical outlet, and turned on. If you’re having trouble printing, first try these suggestions: Get started with accessibility features.Use Sign in with Apple for apps and websites.Watch and listen together with SharePlay.Share and collaborate on files and folders.Sync music, books, and more between devices.Make and receive phone calls on your Mac.Use one keyboard and mouse to control Mac and iPad.Use Live Text to interact with text in a photo.Make text and other items on the screen bigger.Install and reinstall apps from the App Store.I really appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Epson basically has said they are releasing drivers as they can, but I am sure I will be speaking with them this week even on issues related to Monterey drivers - which wasn't a walk in the park either.Īlways fun with computers. (I'm on Windows 10 and have not upgraded to 11 still waiting for the dust to settle). Time will fix this - and yes I should not have upgraded. The reality appears to be that Air Print is not helpful - because you need the full use of the driver and it's ability to control the printer. And yes some shared responsibility with the printer vendors. This appears to be some big changes Apple made which some developers believe was made unnecessarily complicated - moreso than it needed to be. I finally did talk with some of my expert photographers who are extremely MAC and Epson imaging focused. UPDATE: So just as an update here, I bit the bullet and reimaged the machine to Monterey (which is the MAC OS shipped with the device last summer). Your ICC profiles or their updates would still need to be sourced from Epson. ![]() It is also Epson's responsibility to keep their drivers functional with new releases of macOS, again, if they choose to do so.Īpple's built-in AirPrint also supports the ET-8550 when networked, and that would avoid needing any device drivers directly from Epson. Again, Apple has no influence on a vendor's product support and release schedule. It is their responsibility, not Apple's, to develop/test/release drivers for the forthcoming (Ventura) operating system - if they choose to do so. ![]() I you have not downloaded that specific October driver, I would do that, install it, and re-add your printer so it can see the new driver.Įpson had access to the Ventura Developers (SDK) tools as early as June 2022. That said…Įpson released printer drivers for the ET-8550 in Oct 2022 for Ventura. Your responsibility, not Epsons or Apple. Always validate that a vendor provides support for the target operating system before upgrading or switching to a new Mac. ![]()
