Epson just annouced their new 24" and 44" printer which I'm pretty sure they shared the printhead with P10000 and P20000. I am wondering if QTR will be update and able to communicate with these 2 new model or not since they are very different from the old printhead technology. We'll see...

Well looking at the specs I don't think there's any way to support the new Pro printers.
Apple is due to make things harder too. Save your old printers and computers. Sorry.Roy

Roy, is the problem the signing and app notarization or the separating the OS into the read-only system stuff and user data partitions? I got worried watching wwdc and the driver kit stuff, but didn’t expect problems at the printer level.

Drivers will be able to be used forever you just need to sign the BOM/hash that lives in >Library/Printers/ so you need an apple developer’s key. It’s easy though. $70/yr. Best, -Walker
