![]() ![]() Your ICC profiles or their updates would still need to be sourced from Epson. It is also Epson's responsibility to keep their drivers functional with new releases of macOS, again, if they choose to do so.Īpple's built-in AirPrint also supports the ET-8550 when networked, and that would avoid needing any device drivers directly from Epson. Again, Apple has no influence on a vendor's product support and release schedule. It is their responsibility, not Apple's, to develop/test/release drivers for the forthcoming (Ventura) operating system - if they choose to do so. I you have not downloaded that specific October driver, I would do that, install it, and re-add your printer so it can see the new driver.Įpson had access to the Ventura Developers (SDK) tools as early as June 2022. That said…Įpson released printer drivers for the ET-8550 in Oct 2022 for Ventura. Your responsibility, not Epsons or Apple. ![]() The printer works when connected by the same USB cable to a Windows PC which makes me think that the printer is not the issue.Always validate that a vendor provides support for the target operating system before upgrading or switching to a new Mac. I don't propose fully reinstalling the OS. When I say rolling back I am talking about restore using time machine back up to a date when I know that the printer worked. It is connected by USB as the printer does not use Wifi and the router is a bit far away to run an ethernet cable which would mean having cables all over the floor. Without the driver being on the Mac (which is the problem) the printer can't be used as Apple don't have this printer in the drop down list when trying to add a printer ( see second screenshot ). Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." It was working fine with Monterey before so I am lost really as to what it is. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. I have deleted the driver and cleared the bin, then downloaded it again from Epson and the same thing happens. It gets to the last leg and then a failure message pops up everytime. The first issue is that the driver from Epson won't install. It isn't the printer ( which is connected by USB ) as it works fine on a Windows machine using a driver from Epson. Is it something that has got corrupted with the installer?Īny and all suggestions will be most welcome. This was installed when using Mojave and continued to work when I upgraded to Monterey.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions / thoughts on this frustrating matter. ![]() The same driver ( v 10.85 ) was used previously and all was well.

I have tried to add it again but the drop down list of printers doesn't include my 7880 and the driver fails to install. It doesn't have the printer in it's list anymore. It was working but has stopped and the computer no longer controls the printer. I am trying to open an Epson Stylus Pro 7880 printer driver ( v 10.85 ) on a 2016 iMac ( Monterey OS ) ![]()
