I know the printer is long in the tooth, but it's in great shape and still prints beautifully on a Windows 10 machine and an older Macbook Pro running Mavericks.
Just got a M1 Mac Mini with Big Sur. There is no official IP4500 driver for Big Sur, and I doubt one is coming given the age of the printer. I tried installing various Big Sur drivers for other printers in the IP line, and the printer is regonized and prints, however there is an offset between the color inks and black ink. This happens no matter the printing source/file: JPEG, PDF, Illustrator, etc, and whether or not printer or other software (Adobe, etc) manages color. Tried drivers for 4 different printers with same result. Strange thing is that the test print works fine (both color and black ink), and Grayscale prints fine, but nothing else.
Is it hopeless? Seems like there must be a solution if it can manage to print test sheet correctly, and if Windows can still handle it. Should I try any other Big Sur drivers, perhaps for a different line of printers?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
