Epson Driver Needed for 14.0 Mac OS

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

I have uninstalled and installed and called Epson. They said they are waiting on Apple to get the driver information. Any news?

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.

Epson changed that not too many years ago. When we had our 4900, it came with over 50 premade printer profiles. Not that we used them since we needed to create our own profiles for use with a RIP. But they were there.


I looked at the drivers Epson makes available now for their current models, and even for the very expensive ones, they include almost no profiles. You seem to be expected to make your own, which means purchasing more very pricey hardware and software.

Same issue for me. It looks like the newest Epson 12.62 driver is not so new. Pre Sonoma. The Epson Printer SC600 that is sitting next to me hasn't be able to print since the arrival Sonoma. I have spent a non-trivial amount of time attempting to troubleshoot without any luck. It may not be the OS, but the song remains the same. Sigh....

I tried switching from USB to Wireless without any luck today - Jan 17, 2024. The Epson network installation software just spins and spits out a message stating that it was unsuccessful. All the suggested Epson troubleshooting tips were tried several times, and I am still unable to use the printer. I logged a second support ticket with Epson today. Never had any issues with this printer until Sonoma.

And an update since yesterday... with another problem. Although the Epson driver can now be accessed when my P600 is connected by wifi, not USB, so I can set printer controls properly, and save them as a preset. But when I come to print another copy, or the next image, the PRESET SETTINGS HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED AND APPLIED.

It just sets to a Default (although the default setting has not been selected).


So I have to redo every setting in the driver window, manually, for every print.


Has anyone else had this issue - or found a solution?

I used migration assistant to move all of my apps and software from my old iMac to the new one running on Sanoma and inevitably, I could not print on my Epson SC P600 through the cabled print driver version 12.62

As a photographer, it is important to use the cable print driver as it gives more control in the print dialogue box over papers and print settings. 

In 2020 I contacted Epson to say that compared side by side to my old Epson R2880, the Epson air print driver was putting too much ink on the page and they suggested using cabled print driver v12.62 which rectified the problem.

So it was important for me to get this driver running with my new Sanoma iMac.

Epson again were very helpful in directing me to the new update

This link includes software updater for the specific iMac Sonoma go to the link and update the software.

 

This didn’t initially solve the problem as I made the mistake in thinking that the Epson auto updata would install the new driver automatically


I contacted Apple support who were very helpful in getting me to update to the latest software but it was still not working. 

 

I found after numerous attempts at deleting the old driver that when I went into ‘system settings’ – ‘Printers & scanners” – “add Printer, scanner or Fax”  that EPSON SC-P600 (IP) came up as an option. 

I am not sure what the (IP) stands for, but it has sorted out the problem and I can print with the cabled driver and the important ‘print settings’ option dialogue box.
