It only affects a small number of printers -- those that can print on CDs and DVDs. It is known what causes it, but it is a macos issue only (Gutenprint is used on Linux) is and the fix is being worked on. I believe there is also an issue with getting the code properly signed and notarized. I think Apple made some changes in the number of folders you can have in a folder. Daniel, my guess is that you are getting the error because you do not have Rosetta installed. Rosetta is the interpreter that allows Intel code to run on the new chipset. Normally an application that need to run Intel code will automatically ask you to install Rosetta. Nice and easy. Gutenprint is not an application however. It is a set of drivers. You need to install Rosetta from the command line. A bit geeky or nerdy, but not difficult. 1. Be sure you are running as an administrator. 2. Open the Terminal application /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. 3. Enter or copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta 4. Enter your password and hit the Return key. Nothing will show as you enter your password. You will have to agree to Apple's license agreement and the software will be installed. Gutenprint should work fine now. If that doesn't solve your problem, please post back and we can look for something else.
