Hello! I just updated my driver for my Epson Surecolor P9000 as well as my Mac OS software to Ventura. It will not print as it says they are not compatible. When I try to download Catalina or another OS, my Mac says my device is not compatible. I'm at a loss and very frustrated as I use my printer for work and am stuck. Any advice welcomed!
