I only just noticed this thread now and I can tell you the likely solution that worked for me with a previous macOS and a different printer with the same issue. Your older Macbooks had the initial driver installed on an older macOS version and were then upgraded to Tahoe with the driver already present. If you wiped one of your old Macbooks and installed Tahoe from scratch you'd very likely find it's not able to print anymore either.
What I suspect is that the freshly installed Tahoe driver from the manufacturer's website is a repackaged older driver that for one quirk or another doesn't work. The printer manufacturers probably just have automated systems to make these available and don't manually test them. Or they might have tested them on a Mac that was upgraded from an older macOS where the driver just so happens to work - again, macOS quirks.
With my own printer the driver from the website didn't work (not Epson) and a freshly installed macOS Big Sur at the time was unable to install a printer automatically. The printer was broken on Big Sur and there was no way to make it work again. I tried 2 solutions that both worked:
Solution 1) You wipe that Macbook and install the oldest macOS version that it supports, hope it installs the printer automatically which is what High Sierra did for me back then, verify the printer works and upgrade to Tahoe and you should find the printer working just fine. I don't recommend this as it requires wiping the Macbook.
Solution 2) You simply copy the printer driver folder from one of the Macs where the printer works and once you put it in the correct place on the M4 Mac and reboot it should work as well. Make sure to delete the non-working printer entry and remove the driver from /Library/Printers/. Copy over the entire /Library/Printers/ folder from the other Mac to your desktop and check the contents. You should find a folder for the printer. As long as that printer is there and you copy over everything so that the contents of /Library/Printers/ look identical between all 3 Macs and reboot it should immediately resolve the problem.
Fair warning: For me this worked for Big Sur but after the next upgrade the printer would only print blank pages. The driver was still installed and working but as it was too old for this macOS it didn't actually send the correct data to the printer to get anything other than blank pages. But this was HP where they simply removed all macOS support from one day to the next for all the 10 years old printers and said tough luck.
But since Epson does apparently still support it officially I would actually get in contact with them and let them know their driver does not work on a fresh Tahoe installation anymore and needs to be fixed. If you can make it through to someone at Epson who is responsible for this and can actually take a moment to verify this they should be able to confirm it quickly and release an updated driver.
If you wanted to verify my theory that the current Epson driver is broken you'd have to reset one of your other Tahoe Macs to factory defaults and then you should see that the freshly installed driver won't work. But I can't rule out that this really is an issue with the M4 generation specifically. Perhaps there could be some incompatibility in the M4 USB controller that makes your particular printer not work with M4 Macs. In that case my entire post would be irrelevant and you'd find nothing you try works.
I'd contact Epson in this case too since it's still their driver that would need to be updated to make it work on M4 Macs. Unfortunately Apple support is ultimately correct to refer you to Epson as it's completely up to them to make sure their own Tahoe driver works on a fresh Tahoe install.
By the way someone else in this forum had a similar issue:
