Hi,


Since the SP 200s is a USB model using a DDST printer language, a special printer driver will be needed. The printer manufacturer seems to have drivers for Windows only.

With earlier Mac models, it has been possible to run Windows in a virtual machine under macOS. The M1 is different. I guess that the only practical solution at this point would be to use the SP 200s connected to a Windows PC. If necessary, you could save/print to PDF on the Mac, and then transfer files to the PC.
