Printer issues with Sequoia

Thanks John for the update. Last three days i have been banging my head trying to reinstall the epson

l3250 printer on a network. It was working fine on sonoma, but after updating to sequoia, mac recognizes the printer. It shows the printer on the network, as idle but the moment i try to print something, it gives communication error. I guess we have to wait for the bug to be fixed.

somnath, the communication error is a different issue than the original topic, where printers are not shown in the Page Setup menu - that part is an Apple bug.

The communication error could be the network access problem discussed above? Others here have had varied success. Apple has increased security in several places in Sequoia, so it might be another Epson process/filter that's causing this - and then also needs network access?

Depending on how much you want to investigate, you could enable cups debugging:

in Terminal:

cupsctl --debug-logging

print a job, and then look in the /var/log/cups/error_log file to see if there are any obvious (filter?) errors.

There is also /Utilities/Console. If you open that app and then filter for Epson while printing a job, maybe you'll see something useful?

I don't know if this Epson uses the rastertoescpII filter, but that filter seems to be common to other reports.

Hope this helps.

I have no idea what a 'rastertoescpII' is but following your instructions and enabling it worked like a charm. I had been trying to solve this for an hour, after the Sequoia update. Thanks so much, Jean-Francois228!

After a frustrating week of trying to print having down loaded Sequoia and reading the input from jean-franciose, I have become an expert!

I have no idea what I changed inside the MacBook Pro, but it works for me!

Thanks.... I can now rest on my laurels [your laurels].

Thanks this answered my question, it´s very helpful, I enabled all of them

Having the exact same problem, I've tried everything. Does anyone know if a fix is coming soon?

How did you manage to do this? I don't see any of these processes/apps indicated in the Epson table for activation in the "Local network" section. Can you tell me more what have you done? I have Epson M1180 printer.

Update: After a clean install of macOS I don't have any Epson services in Privacy & Security > Local Network that I could grant access to. I also tried connecting my printer via USB and I'm getting the same error.

Had the same issue with Brother iprint and scan. Stopped scanning. Open System

Settings - Privacy & Security - Local Network and enable/ toggle "Brother iprint and scan"

That fixes it. Guess it toggled off with the update.

I am printing with a Xerox Phaser 7800 GX. I need to be able to select the paper tray, paper type/weight and other printer specific features. The print screen menu does not allow me to select any of these things because my only option is the generic "any printer". If I am able to see my printer, the moment I select it, my application crashes. This occurs from all applications and all file types I have tried. I have also tried the Line Printer Daemon when adding a printer on the network and that doesn't work either.

I have just installed the latest Sequoia update 15.0.1 and printing is still not working.

Can anyone assist. I commented on this thread a while back and ever since have been inundated with replies from Apple even though the problem has been resolved. I must be missing something but can't see a way to stop the messages. Thank you

I have had this problem with my Epson and could have written the same thing you did. I saw a solution above from another user and it fixed my problem: Open System Settings - Privacy & Security - Local Network and enable the app 'rastertoescpII'.

I cannot get my Canon TR820a printer to work after updating to Sequoia. I've tried everything and the only thing that works is to unplug the printer, reboot the router and then plug the printer back in. It works until the printer turns itself off. Then, it doesn't want to connect to the wifi network even though all passwords are correct. I've gone through the canon manual, downloaded "new" canon software. It is very annoying.
