p800 driver problem under Mac OS
« on: December 18, 2021, 12:55:44 pm »

Hi, I try to get my Epson p800 working under Mac OS12. 1,5y ago, I had a similar problem, the driver only had very few options, the more advanced being absent. Got the tip then to NOT install the Airprint driver, but the full fletched one. After a while I succeeded and then I had all the options. However this time I can't seem to install sth other than the Airprint driver. Has anyone managed to get the full driver under Mac OS 11 or 12?

Thanks
Bernhard

You have the wrong driver, probably the gutenprint driver. Go to Epson's site, download and install their driver, zero issues on this end running a P800 on OS 12

Hi digitaldog, I meanwhile have managed to install the full driver, however I still cannot find the advanced b&w mode - is it still present in the newer driver?
Yes. You must have Printer Manages Color and Epson Color Controls for this to show. But just get the free Epson Print Layout; better because you can soft proof and more.
