Epson P900 and Apple's Tahoe 26

[Gestark]

Anybody successful printing with the Epson P900 and the New OS released by Apple Tahoe 26.0 ? 
Epson does not appear to have added a new Tahoe driver as of yet on their support site.
Cheers,

Both P800 and P900 are fine under Tahoe.

You're always the brave one!... Thank You.

My P900 is not fine printing with Tahoe 26.1 on my new MacBook Pro. I surmise this could be because I hadn’t updated my OS since Mohave and that I may be in small minority having this P900 problem. I’ll value some help getting the situation straightened out.

I recently used Apple’s Migration Assistant to move everything from my 2014 MacBook Pro to the new one. The old one (which still works fine) has mac OS 10.14 Mohave, is still using Lightroom Classic 9.3, and is still working fine with the P900. On the new MBP, the Lightroom Classic 15.0 upgrade of my catalog was straightforward.

However, it would be difficult to describe what I’ve been through in recent days trying to get the P900 going (I print from Lightroom Classic). Long story short is that I’m beginning to suspect that the driver from my old MBP (version 13.63) is the problem.

Given that there is no Tahoe driver for the P900 on the Epson website (there is one for the P800), I infer from what Andrew wrote above —“Both P800 and P900 are fine under Tahoe” — that anyone using Tahoe who can print on the P900 is likely to be using the P900 driver for Sequoia (or perhaps for a mac OS a bit earlier than that), which just "coincidently" does happen to work with Tahoe, even though Epson's website does not list a driver for Tahoe. As I said, it’s an inference.

It strikes me at this point that to solve the P900 problem with the new Tahoe MBP, the first thing to do is use Epson’s uninstaller — version 1.3.2, which migrated from the old Mohave MBP to the new one, is still listed by Epson as compatible with Sequoia and presumably will work in Tahoe — to delete whatever it’s supposed to delete; then download the “Drivers and Utilities Combo Package Installer” from Epson; and then install the software.

Any thoughts on all this? But especially concerning the previous paragraph, and whether there’s a chance that doing what I describe might cause further problems.

Thanks.

PS I don’t have a good feeling for what uninstalling will mean for all the work I did with the Epson Media Installer and profiles and presets when I got the P900 about a year ago. Will I lose them and have to start from zero again (I want to use only my new MBP for photography work)?

Then maybe do the Epson Enema and install the print drivers (from Epson) again: 
   1.   Delete all instances of Epson printers from System Preferences (System Settings in Ventura)>Print & Fax.

   2.   Then go to /Library/Printers and toss the whole Epson folder.

   3.   Toss LFP Remote Panel (IF you are using this utility for your printer).

   4.   Then reinstall drivers from Epson and never Apple.

NOTE: IF you have more than one Epson printer, you need to install the driver in the order of their release! Older then newer or you run into issues (eg, install 4800 before you’d install 3880).

Thank you, Andrew.

After I delete the printer, would manually deleting that Epson folder give a different/better outcome than using the Epson Uninstaller.app?
