Hi. I downloaded the Sonoma 14.0 OS on my Mac. Great! Well, Epson has not yet obtained the DRIVER for the MAC 14.0 operating system. So, now my PRINT options are limited. I have two paper selections in Lightroom. I have an Epson Stylus Pro 3880

Same problem here. I just bought a new Mac Studio, downloaded OS 14, got my Lightroom and Photoshop fully upgraded and... my P600 will not work with the "newest Epson 12.62 driver." AirPrint works just fine - but the printer will not respond to Epson's proprietary driver. This is frustrating.

This is an update. I previously mentioned I couldn't get my P600 driver to work with the new Sonoma OS. That is fixed. I found out the wireless setup on my P600 allowed the drivers to work. The driver that installed was 12.62IP. Now I have full function and performance on the printer.

Thank you for the suggestion to use the IOS 13 driver as I was able to download the Epson driver even though I am running IOS 14.Epson website said it was compatible with my Epson printer and scanner. It asked me to allow downloading of Rosetta program which they said converts Intel based programs to IOS use. I clicked ok and the driver for IOS 13 worked to run my Epson scanner on my IOS 14 iMac. Before downloading the new driver my Image Capture could not detect my printer/scanner. As soon as I got the driver downloaded and installed thanks to Rosetta, the scanner box opened from Image Capture and showed my connected printer/scanner. So thank you for the suggestion! it worked!!

They are stalling you. Epson does not obtain drivers; they create them. They would have had the Sonoma programming standards and requirement long before Sonoma was released to people like us. This sounds like Epson is behind on the project and blaming Apple wrongly.

I'm using the same usb lead as I used with the Macbook, have tried it direct to the machine and passthrough via the monitor. The printer has been removed and re-added a couple of times now. The SP3800 doesn't do wireless, so I haven't got that option that another poster had success with.

Heck, for all we know, they aren't much, if any different from the previous release. If you look under macOS 11 and up, they all use the same 12.62 release. That doesn't mean the installer doesn't detect the OS version and install different files depending on what it finds, but that the same release works across multiple versions is a fairly good hint the installer didn't change much.

It also depends on how much you paid for the printer. Xerox and most other manufacturers do the same thing. Cheap or somewhat inexpensive printers don't get very many updates for major OS changes (or many updates at all). Expensive models are supported for much longer.

Such as, for our Xerox VersaLink C405, yes, Ventura and Sonoma recognize it and offer to set up the printer. But those drivers are missing a lot of settings. To get those, I have to install the full drivers available directly from Xerox.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. All of my paper profiles are gone but I'm able to print. I guess Epson views its very expensive photo printers as serving a niche market not deserving of quick support. I have quite a bit of work ahead of me reinstalling my fine art paper profiles.

Epson LCD drivers, developed from the display ICs for digital watches, have been driving huge number of display panels of mobile phones around the world. The technology that has been cultivated over the years has been handed down to the current lineup in an unbroken line. The products with built-in low current power supply, display data memory, and oscillation circuit achieve display systems with a minimum set of chips.

Segment LCD driver IC that can be directly connected to a microcontroller, enabling the display image data transferred from the microcontroller to be displayed on the segment LCD without external memory.

I went to the Epson P900 site and found the downloads for macOS 14.x (Sonoma). It looks like there is something there, but after much consternation and several 'chats' with Epson I realised that the downloads actually don't include any new print drivers. That was after two long online chats with Epson that turned out to be with 2 imcompetent advisors. I finally got a phone number from them and got hold of an advisor who actually knew what was going on and didn't just send me references to the user manual. I'd already looked carefully at that.

The phoned advisor confirmed what I'd already found out. That is that Epson hasn't caught up yet on the Sonoma update and the updated Epson Print Drivers will be coming soon. I had already figured that out and gone back to reloading the Epson P900 drivers for Ventura (13.x). They work as they should phoned advisor advised me that I did the right thing and apolgised for the inconvenience.

I commented to the Epson advisor that it would have saved me about 3 hours of my time if Epson had put a qualification note on the P900-Sonoma version shown on their drivers page. She agree with me and said she would send a note to the appropriate people.

By the way, before I first went to update to the P900 Sonoma drivers I did a full uninstal usig the Uninstal application from Epson. If you don't do that you probably won't run into the challenges that I found. I did that because, knowing that Sonoma was a significant upgrade, I didn't want any earlier macOS leftovers hiding somewhere in my system.

I hope this helps

It's Jan 17th, and I ran into this problem. I've been printing fine with my new MacBook Pro under Sonoma, sunddenly I could no longer get the correct dialog boxes, and when I tried to print the printer queue box said software was not loaded and to contact the printer manufacturer. I tried everything, include the "epson Enema" that I've done a video about, still wouldn't load. Finally resorted to looking over on Epson EU, and they've had a Sonoma compatible driver available since Novemeber and maybe earlier. Downloaded that, installed it, and everything back to normal. I've seen this before where Epson US is really slow to make these updates available.

It makes no sense to me that the American/Canadian site takes so long to get such drivers available. Sonoma has been operational since October and here we are 3+ months later without the proper drivers that are properly aligned with Sonoma.

As I noted earlier, I tend to favour papers other than Epson and they work great. I will say that the quality of the images I print with my P900 are better than with my old 3880 and I sure like the automation in the P900.

I purchased the roll paper unit with my P900 and think it words very well (again....not using Epson paper). I can now print panoramas up to the limitation of 17" high at a fraction of the price that I used to have to pay a printing consultant.

It's quite normal to consume more grey than other colors as grey is used in the dithering of almost all medium tone colors to control the saturation. The introduction of grey inks went a long way to increase the color gamut of inkjet printing.

I looked at the EU site and couldnt find my printers (P900 and P9570). Not sure if they have the same names over there. I had been printing but was challenged with the quality. Acceptable for proofs but not final prints. Returning to digital photgraphy after a number of years and accomodating to the changes in software etc. is a challenge. Just had a long tech support call and after uninstalling and reinstallng I have no printing capability. Hard to believe that Epson is still dragging their feet on this!

Typically you should just do an in-place install and not worry about updating things like printer drivers unless you have a problem. Apple didn't make any big changes to printing so Epson probably won't do an updates or just minor things.

It is absolutely incredible they don't come up with a Driver as a first task rather than 5 different apps that do so many useless things. And yes, so often the technical advice is level 1 out of 10 so it doesn't help. I got caught in horror movie buying the new mac studio and changing my old Epson 4880 series where everything was working really smoot. So under Sonoma there is no way to get the printer (from LR or Photoshop) to not manage Colors so you end up printing on 2 color profiles most of the time and as a result the prints are awful. I ended up installing an older driver but every once in a while it gets corrupted and you have to install it again.

@groozan I hope so too, but the 4880 is a deprecated printer now, no parts have been available for quite a few years, sadly this may mean Epson decided not to support it on the latest macOS. Frustrating I know.

Before you can download the Epson OPOS drivers, Epson requires that you register with their "EpsonExpert Strategic Developer" Program. This is a free program that is designed exclusively for North American users. This program gives you a single source of information about Epson OPOS products and services.

During the installation, accept all the defaults except when you are prompted to choose Epson CO or Common Control Object (CCO). In this case, choose Common Control Object (CCO).

Note If you accept all the defaults, make sure that you remove the OPOS drivers, and then reinstall them. This action is required by Store Operations, not by the Epson drivers. For information about how to remove Windows applications, search Windows Online Help.
