I just upgraded to Big Sur. My Epson printer Stylus Photo 1400 apparently doesn't have a compatible driver. Are they any plans to work with EPSON to have new drivers? The printer works great and I don't want to ditch it because of the new MacOS.
Hello,
The European support site has information about the Epson Software updater and Uninstall Center only, when choosing macOS 11 (Big Sur) as the operating system:
https://www.epson.eu/support?productID=10816&language=en&os=38#drivers_and_manuals
The Epson Singapore support page on the other hand has a Big Sur driver:
https://www.epson.com.sg/c/Epson-AcuLaser-C1700/s/SPT_C11CB71061?review-filter=Mac+OS+X+11.x
Apparently, this driver, Ver.1.12 (03-2014) is used for earlier operating system versions as well.
Going back to the European site, with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) chosen as the operating system, there is a 1.14 (04-Jan-2021) driver:
https://www.epson.eu/support?productID=10816&language=en&os=36#drivers_and_manuals
So, you may have to check what the operating system or the Epson Software updater offers to begin with (after having reset the printing system, and re-added the printer). Otherwise, you may want to try one or more driver downloads. You should look upon this as an experiment. Software conflicts cannot be ruled out. You may have to erase and reinstall everything on the computer. Data can be lost. So, do not proceed unless you know what you are doing. Also, make sure that you have multiple backup copies of important files before doing anything at all.
Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem - Apple Support
This worked. Thanks!
no link there to the driver.My italian is not good so could not ask!!! maybe they have the updated drivers in italy

Correction:
BTW, the UK support page for the WF-2510WF at https://www.epson.co.uk/support?productID=11996&os=38#drivers_and_manuals appears to have exactly the same download.
at last a result. all working now, thanks for all your help.
will not upgrade so quickly in the future.trusted apple too much to get everything right first time.
a lesson learned
cheers

Is there drivers for Epson Printer DX7450 for IMac Big Sur
My printer won't work since downloading latest software for my iMac
Yes took the advice from the group and my Epsom works fine now
I need to load the driver for my epson laser jet pro 200 color printer
Still no driver for Big Sur? I have not found anyone yet, anyway. A bit annoying.
Thank you for a quick reply. No we have an excellent Epson Aculaser C1700
Thanks a lot. In fact I have managed to install the above named driver on my Big Sur Mac yesterday night. And it actually worked after a while. So right now I have a printer :) Cheers
Good news!

This worked for me although my specific printer (L355) wasn't listed. I chose the first L3 printer that came up and it worked like a charm.
FYI, when I tried to reinstall the driver, I got a message saying that the package could not open and was not compatible with Big Sur. Epson's driver site said a fix is in the works expected in December 2020.
from Epson, I'm sure it applies to your printer model as well:
Thank you for contacting Epson regarding your Epson Artisan 835.
This model currently does not have Big Sur drivers.
Unfortunately, Epson does not currently have a release schedule for OS 11 drivers. You would have to wait for the OS 11 drivers to get posted on that support website if you have updated your OS already.
I downloaded and installed a driver yesterday which didn't solve the problem. Someone on this thread suggested deleting the printer from a Mac and then adding it back which I did. Then the printer worked mas usual.
I thought that Apple operating systems had printer drivers already installed. In years past installing new drivers was never an issue, so I wonder if the deleting the printer and then adding it back was the proceedure that actually worked.
Epson print driver for Big Sur?
