Printers disappearing in macOS 12, Monterey

After updating to MacoOS 12, Monterey both my Fuji Xerox Docuprint P265dw and Epson ET-3700 dropped back to just being available via AirPrint. I had to reinstall the drivers to get them back. Both work over wifi so I hope they don't drop off again.

Anyone else had issues with printers?

Printing No Longer Works I have a 2018 mac mini. I just upgraded to Ventura. My 2 printers I had, have no disappeared. A Dymo 450 turbo, connected via USB, and a Lexmark MB2236adw that was connected over wifi. I try to add them again in the control panel under Printers & Scanners, but when I attempt to add printers, the add printers dialog crashes. I am not really sure what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Printers not being found after 13.3.1 install. Last night I installed the release on my Mac Studio 2022, iMac 27 2017 and MBP 14 2022. The installs were normal. Today none of my printers are being found while attempting to print on any computer using any of the printers. The printers are HP color laser 283 CDW, HP laser M203dw and an Epson EcoTank 8500. They boot up normally. I restarted both computers, the printers and unplugged them. I get looking for printer messages using several different apps. They are all connected via wifi and wifi works on all my computers and other devices. I really do not understand how all of them can't be found. The only common denominator is the install of the urgent software release. Anybody else experience this? Anybody e

no printers available Periodically, MacOS (here Mojave) 'forgets' that there are any printers installed - so far can't determine a root cause. Multiple restarts are sometimes needed to get my printers back... and then sometimes they just mysteriously reappear. This also hangs up or crashes applications like WORD and ADOBE DC, even if only printing to a PDF (PDF printer also doesn't exist in this case). NOTE: preferably don't want to reset printers and erase them all and re-add them for the two dozen or so printers I have installed (office and family sites). There seems to be something else going on here.. and it happens, of course, at the moment of direst need.. Thoughts appreciated.. Image below shows printers
