EPSONStatusMonitor
EPSON Status Monitor is a printer utility from Epson that displays the status of connected Epson printers on a Mac, including ink or toner levels, paper supply, and maintenance alerts. It typically runs as a background helper application that monitors one or more Epson devices and notifies the user of issues or low consumables. The app is generally installed as part of the Epson printer driver package when users set up their printer for the first time.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">EPSON Status Monitor is a printer utility component — it is not independently maintained but rather ships as part of Epson's printer driver package for macOS. To determine if a native Apple Silicon build is available, visit Epson's official support site and download the latest printer driver and utility bundle for your specific printer model. Epson has released native Apple Silicon drivers for most modern printers (M1/M2/M3 and newer), so reinstalling the current driver package should replace this utility with its native equivalent. If you have an older Epson printer model that predates Apple Silicon, Epson's support pages will indicate whether native drivers exist. If no native driver is listed for your model, the utility will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point you may need to upgrade to a newer printer or contact Epson support for alternatives.</recommendation> <parameter name="recommendation_name">EPSON Status Monitor
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of EPSONStatusMonitor has been released by Epson. The latest known version (7.21) remains Intel-only and will require Rosetta 2 to run on Apple Silicon Macs. Epson's track record with Mac app updates has been slow, and there is no clear public roadmap indicating when or if a native version will be released. We recommend checking Epson's official support and download pages periodically for updates, or contacting Epson support directly to inquire about Apple Silicon compatibility plans. In the meantime, the app will continue to function via Rosetta 2, though performance may be slightly reduced. If Epson does release a native version, it will likely be available through their official website or the Mac App Store.
