I cant install my printer after the 11.01 macos Big Sur

Catalina, Big Sur. It seems Big Sur is a continuation of Catalina. Same problem. Except this time the Printer will not be recognized,

When u shut down and open later the Trash has files in it. ALL THE TIME. There is nothing in these empty files. Desk top picture disappear also after shut down. Our Aurora 3d animation does not work at all. And we were thinking of a new $6,000.00 mac pro. Our late 2013 (ours purchased 2014) we are editing gurus. Tell cook to fix it the right way, stop worrying about i phone Apple passed the One Trillion Dollar mark. GOOD We Are Share holders too. Joseph J.

I have the same problem with my EPSON XP 200. printer. Apple doesn't mention this when it invites you to update. Just install our fancy upgrade which makes your peripherals unworkable. The incompatibility is then your problem

I'm online with them now but they don't seem to have a clue! It's ridiculous all these printers not working!! I only bought mine today. They have just said either wait for an updated driver from Canon or downgrade to an earlier OS!!

Agreed. Whether or not Apple and HP didn't communicate these changes they should take into consideration that millions of Mac users NEED TO PRINT.

VikingOSX your response is about as helpful and empathetic as fraudulent bot preying on an old lady to give up her pension. If you cannot offer a solution on these boards I recommend you abstain from further comments. For the good of the troubleshooting community.

I have a new MacBook Air which came with the Big Sur iOS. Do you know if it would be possible to downgrade to Catalina? So far, thanks to Apple, I can print using my iPhone and iPad, not with my new MacBook. This may be a partial solution until HP produces the drivers compatible with Big Sur.

UPDATE! Jan. 7, 2021

Epson printer still not working. (unable to locate printer epson) Desk pictures disappears when i shut down, all the time.

Trash is empty. When start up trash has recovered (empty) files in the trash?. Photos quit?. Catalina "Bugs" continued into Big Sur.

Other Big Sur issues also. We are Mac people for Fifteen (15) years. Apples core is becoming rotten and WE ARE SHARE HOLDERS too. Fix the problems. Cook has more than enough money, software experts. We will not purchase a new Mac Pro at this time

($6,000.00 + Tax) Big Sur prevents this. HELP! fix Safari! maybe Apple should have our computers manufactured in our country

only help save California too. Yes we have read the fine print for Apple communities site. We are writing the facts Pleas fix our Apple software....Joseph

Jan. 24,2021. Epson printer STILL not working (since Big Sur) I will not vote for Cook...Yes i'm a share holder. The bugs are a continuation of Catalina...We all have seen them and they are still there. Can not buy our new Mac ($6,000.00+ tax) Pro at this time

Maybe Cupertino will fix this big problem. Apple user since 2014.

For some reason this is not working for me - I open the MAC_Printer folder and run the "Printer Driver.pkg" file, go through the install, but no printer names come up in system pref "add printer" setup thereafter. Anyone having same problem?

I cannot install my Samsung M2020 printer after the 11.2.1. I have tried to install the universal Samsung driver, however once I have the option to "add a printer" there is no printer to choose from the list. I cannot search any printers either, therefore I am stuck.

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Thank you VERY much for this info. I was able to get the package, install it, and I've now printed with Big Sur 11.4 using the CLP-320 printer. Prior to reading this advice, I was using an old macOS Mojave Mid-2015 MacBookPro to print via printer sharing. It was pretty tedious.

So thanks very much for taking the time to write the solution.

apple is becoming a giant pain in the *** as the rest of world passes them by. all the work arounds are ridiculous.

cook needs to get his **** together. this is not how jobs intended his stuff to work.

Have exactly the same issue with my Samsung CLP365W and my HP LaserJet 1012 ! :(((

I do not print often, but what a waste of time for users.

Получилось! Спасибо. Только нужно добавить, что нужно войти в папку «MAC_Printer», от туда и устанавливать.

That dont work with Samsung CLP 320

was Apple able to solve the problem
