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

Is anyone else running into printer issues after updating to Sequoia?

In order to print my documents properly, I would always format them for my specific printer. Now my printer doesn't show up on the "Format for" list in either Word or Pages. The printer is installed and I've been able to print some things. However, it isn't allowing me to format for my particular printer anymore. It just gives me "Any printer" as an option. This means my booklets are no longer printing correctly.

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

I have a Canon Pixma Pro 200 and I don't see rastertoescpll showing up. I have a smaller hp printer and I can't print to either printer from my macbook pro m1. Anybody find any kind of solution to this besides that? I know it's not my printers as I can print to them from my other devices as well, it just seems like Sequouia bricked my macbook pro and doesn't allow it to print anymore. I can't believe this has been an issue for months and apple hasn't fixed it.

If you find help, please share it.

I have tried everything except direct assistance from Apple. I even purchased a new Canon to see if it made a difference...NO!

I can see all my printers (2 Canon and 2 Dymo) available for adding but when I click add printer it looks promising for a few seconds and then: "Unable to communicate with printer at this time"

I am using M1 MacMini wit Sequoia 15.1.1

I am printing from MacBook with all those printers.
