My printer is missing the 'Format for' list after macOS Sequoia update

Had the same issue but just got it to work fine now! Open System Settings - Privacy & Security - Local Network and enable the app 'rastertoescpII'. There are manu other epson Apps listed there you might want to check too.

I got the lead for fixing it and mode info: https://epson.com.jm/faq/SPT_SEQUOIA-NS~faq-0000b89-macos_15?faq_cat=faq-topFaqs

Hey everyone, the solution provided by user "jean-francois228" works! Thank you!

Open System Settings - Privacy & Security - Local Network and enable the app 'rastertoescpII'.

Since updating to Sequoia, from my MacBook Air I get a Communication Error with my printer Epson ET-1810. The printer shows online in the wifi network though, and I can print from my phone. It's just on the Mac that the problem exists. Deleted & reinstalled all Epson software, rebooted etc. Drivers are up to date. Sometimes it will suddenly print a page after a very long wait, but when trying again it keeps forever "looking for printer" and giving "communication error". When I pause the print job it shows the printer as online, idle. Start the job again and the error comes immediately back.

Removing and re-adding the printer does not change anything.

Anyone had the same and suceeded in solving it?

I do not see that app "rastertoescpII' as an option.

I have a similar issue. My Canon printer prints one page and then stops. Repeatedly pausing and restarting the printer sometimes works. Previous OS worked perfectly.

This is an Apple bug, and they have been told about it. It's not any help to you now, but I was told the fix for this would be available in a software update "soon".

Ckeck Sysyem Settings>Privacy & Security>Local Network. See if you printer in there and enable

I don't see rastertoescpll, is it something you have to add, Please explain how to do this in detail please. I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. It's driving me crazy.

My two cents... upgraded to Sequoia 15.1 yesterday and now my MacBook Air M3 won't recognize my two printers in the office (a Brother and an HP) nor will it recognize my Brother at home (different model). Apple Support on the phone this morning could not solve either. Blamed the printer drivers ( all four????). My iPad Pro M4 works flawlessly while printing. I've tried deleting the office printers but now because 15.1 can't even see them, I am unable to get them back as an available printer on my Air. I have gotten the office HP to print from the MacBook but I have to go through the HP Smart app.

Yes. Still not working after the Sequoia update. Unbelievable

Same issue with "looking for printer" and giving "communication error" on my Mac - seriously impacting my business.

I am using a Macbook Pro (2019). After the update my EPSON ET-4750 Series only manages to print one pages. If I print the same document with my iPad, it works fine. I have deleted the printer and added again, but it has not helped. Also the printer has the latest Epson firmware. Anyone with any ideas?

Well, my printer access problems seem to actually be an issue with my virus software, ESET. Since Sequoia 15.1 these is an issue with ESET's firewall not allowing the printer access. I would turn OFF the ESET Firewall and was able to print. So, after talking with ESET Tech and now waiting for them to come up with a fix, I have turned their Firewall OFF and have turned my Apple Firewall ON.

Wow, you just saved me from a near breakdown! I was getting so frustrated but thanks to your post, I was able to get my printers back to a workable status:)

I've tried practically everything - reinstalling drivers, resetting the print service, and nothing worked. In my opinion, this is a bug in this version of Sequoia. But if anyone has found a solution, it would be great to share, because I can't use my printer!
