Mac mini M4 can hit Epson P700 printer driver trouble
A Mac mini M4 running may fail to work properly with an Epson SC-P700 or other Epson P-series printer. The issue has more than one layer. Sequoia’s can block Epson’s printing .
That script runs quietly and does not open a normal app window, so it may never get a chance to ask the user for network permission. The printer then loses communication with the Mac, while the Mac may show a misleading error saying the printer software is missing. Epson Print Layout and Epson Printer Utility 4 also depend on older Intel-based .
On Macs, those older parts need Rosetta 2 to run. This mix can make a Mac mini M4 with Sequoia a poor fit for Epson P-series printing until the permissions and pieces are handled.
