Using Intel-based apps on a Mac with Apple silicon. Epson printer.

This popped up on my Mac: Using Intel-based apps on a Mac with Apple silicon. It updated overnight, and I checked my Epson Software (screenshots below). I am running macOS 26.5 now. Any suggestions for a new Epson app that will work?

I thought I found one in the app store (Printer App: Smart Printer), downloaded it, only to find it was $4.99 a month. I really don't want to pay anything.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi,

Rosetta sign up several components not compatible fr OS silicon, particulary for my printer all in ones Epson-ET-4850 Series.

There is not update avaible with Epson... Can you help me please ?

EcoTank ET-4850 Supports AirPrint.

Which means vendor drivers are unnecessary for common printing tasks.

Update the printer firmware, if the printer has that. Remove the vendor drivers. Use AirPrint.

Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

As already stated your printer will continue to work it is just that some of the printer apps like scan from printer will no longer work unless that app is upgraded to universal file type.
