John

Thank you *so* much for your helpful suggestions.

I did try 1. above - sadly, to no avail. :-(

This was the instruction I received from the downloaded information
(provided at your link):-

*Check Whether Update is Necessary*

You can check whether an update is required by printing the nozzle check 
pattern.

Check whether the software (firmware) version "Ver. X.XXX" is printed in 
the nozzle check pattern print results.
If the firmware version is printed and is Ver. 2.000 or later

Firmware update is not necessary.

If the firmware version is printed and is earlier than Ver. 2.000, or if 
the firmware version is not printed

Firmware update is necessary. Update according to "Firmware Version 
Update Procedure" described below.

Note
For instructions on printing the nozzle check pattern, refer to the 
on-screen manual that comes with the printer.

Here is confirmation that I do NOT need to update my firmware:-

Had I needed to update, I'd have needed to connect my printer with a USB
cable. If I'd actually HAD a USB cable I wouldn't need to use the Air
Print facility anyway! <wink>

I did reinstall Sequoia (from Internet Recovery) but that made no
difference either.

I can only conclude (as supported by Gemini AI) that there must be a 
'bug' in Sequoia which was overcome by Tahoe. Sadly, this computer is 
now classified as Vintage, so I cannot install macOS Tahoe.

Thank you once again for trying to help. 😊
