Printing on MacBook Air I have just bought a new MacBook Air (version 11.6 with M1 chip) and have managed to install my printer /scanner (an Epson XP-2105), which connects via wifi. I have had this printer for around 4 months and it works fine with my old laptop. It prints a page when setting up and seems to scan ok but when I go to print a document I just get blank pages. The ink has been recently replaced and paper installed correctly so I can't figure out what I am doing wrong?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer a few times but still get the same problem. I really need to get set up for printing for my work - can anyone help?

When you open a print dialogue box click on Show Details and click on Presets,
