Since upgrading to Sonoma, my Brother printer isn't printing the correct colors. Very faded colors AND the print preview is showing up in black & white but printing in this faded color.

Hi, I have been having the same problem. It actually happened with my new renovated equipment, Mac Studio and a new epson SC P 900. Coming from my old Epson 4880 and prints were coming out horrible. I am a professional photographer and have a wide printing experience. Guess what?...I was printing on two color profiles at the same time because under Sonoma when you go to print settings under the epson driver you don't have a color setting to tell the printer NOT to color management so even though you specify your paper profile and tell Photoshop to manage color, the printer also does color management so the prints are awful.

I was lucky enough to have my old computer running Monterey so I downloaded the driver for that system and I was able to tell the printer NOT to color manage and so my prints are now perfect.

I hope this helps because I wen crazy, ruined like 30 sheets of photography paper and all my cartridges trying to figure out the problem and my workaround is to print through my old Mac.
