Still having a problem with M3 Somona, connecting to Epson printer SC P900

I am still having problems in printing photos with my new Mac M3 Somona. I am using an Epson P900 printer. Error message is a communication problem. The forum solution of buying a new printer is not an option as this printer was originally very expensive. I have no problem connecting with my old Mac to the printer. I am sure Apple / Epson can come up with a workaround solution. This was previously discussed in May 2024.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.5

Printers are such a problem-- especially older ones. They always required downloading a new driver every time there was a system update, and every brand and model seemed to use different protocols. Newer ones seem better. My Brother MFC-J480DW seems to have made the transitions without my having to do anything, but I attribute that to luck rather than design.

In any case, the new drivers are Epson's thing, and they're probably the only ones that can help.

With Epson help, I uninstalled the printer, reboot, the computer ,reinstalled a new driver, and the problem seemed to be resolved. Thank you.
