Hi,

Just got a new Mac Mini Pro

Previously I owned an iMac 2019. It would connect, via my Time Capsule, to an old Epson aculaser C1100 using the generic postscript printer driver.

My new computer sees the printer but won't print.

The time capsule is seen by the mac mini and backs up to it with no problem.

However, when I try to make a connection to the printer now (using add printer) the Mac Mini sees the printer stating it is a bonjour device. It correctly identifies its location as TC1.

However there are no generic printer drivers availble from the drop down.

I've visited the espon website, and had zero luck there.

Any idea where I can obtain a basic generic pstscript driver for this printer?

The printer may be old, but it works perfectly and I don't want to throw it out simple due to a software issue.

As always, thanks in advance.
 
Well, I've fixed it.

Decided to share the solution here in case it helps anyone else.

I went to the epson website. I downloaded the Sierra OS print driver. Installed that and my printer now works. No idea why this works, but it does. So I'm happy.

Hussman out
