[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1911754, member: 110816"] I have a very old Canon color laser printer and I just grabbed the latest version of the drivers from Canon for my Mac Studio M1 Max based and everything is working fine. Rosetta2 is a translation layer, it takes instructions from the Intel application and executes it on Apple Silicon and takes the responses and sends it back to the Intel app in a way that it understands. If that's what you mean by bi-direction, then yes, that's what is happening. However, as Jake pointed out, Rosetta2 is primarily meant to run Intel apps on Apple Silicon, not the other way around.
