Then Reset the Printing system using https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/reset-mac-printing-system-solve-a-problem-mh14001/mac

The re-add the printer per the directions in https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/add-a-printer-mh14004/mac and you should be back in business. The whole process should take less than 10 minutes.

To be clear: now I'm using my HP connected via WiFi with Big Sur with AirPrint protocol. But it's much slower on printing than it was with HP drivers, and sometimes it produces strange results like grey background instead of white.

Time to get a new printer.

After spending two hours on this I concluded that Big Sur OSX 11.0 no longer supports driver Printers and has gone driverless.

That is why there is no support for this through HP or Apple, and why they give you the runaround to install the generic HP printer "Easy Start" and "Smart App" setup garbage which never finds your printer.

What about https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-pro-p1102-printer-series/4110394/model/4110306

Do you use HP software to manage the printer?

I confirm: it works! Thank you!

Your welcome.

Sorry but, what works, and how it works exactly?

Is it the wifi printing?

I did a Google search for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w and came up with

Clicked that link and instantly found a driver that was introduced on November 13th.

I used to work for HP years ago, one of the reasons I dropped using all of their devices is the poor support.
