SUDDENLY CAN'T PRINT - EPSON STYLUS PRO 3880- PS 23.5.3 - MAC OS MONTEREY 12.6

Everything appears to work fine in the print module, however, after hitting the print button, the file goes to the Epson driver, where it briefly appears, then quickly disappears. If I use Apple Preview, everything prints fine. I restarted computer, then downloaded and replaced the driver in System Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Still doesn't work. I called Epson, they said it is a problem in Photoshop. Any ideas? I've got a lot of printing to do. Thanks for any help.

Sometimes the computer tries to be "smart" and figures you don't actually want to print a blank page.

that might be whats happening

Try holding the space bar when you go to print - it will reset the print dialog box. 

What version Epson driver are you using?

On the Mac, what does the print queue dialog say?

does your Epson have a print queue that you can view? -- usually its viewed through web browser

In Photoshop, when the print dialog comes up, check your "Print settings..."  make sure all of those are what they should be.

 

Failing that you could open a bunch of images in Acrobat and print from there. Acrobat will combine the files into 1 PDF.
I'm not sure this is the best option, but if you are in a pinch, it will get the job done.
