Printers compatible with Big Sur

Does anyone know where I can find a list of printers compatible with Big Sur? Have just updated OS and old printer no longer supported. When I shop for a new printer, none list Big Sur as compatible OS.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Konopacki, I am sorry to hear about your problem. I have some input that may be useful. First, it is important to understand that it is not a case of a printer being compatible with Big Sur. It is always a matter of whether the printer manufacture provides up to date software that is compatible with Big Sur. You do still have an alternative. I suggest that you download and install the scanning app VueScan. There is a fee for it, but you can test it to see if it works for free. It is a full featured scanner software that is well supported. I purchased it and I recommend it. I am not associated with VueScan in any way. I hope this helps.

Hello Flag UK,

As you have discovered, macOS 11 Big Sur is not mentioned under Downloads.


Also, nothing about the HL-2135W here:

The HL-2135W is not an AirPrint printer:

Since there is not any information from Brother about plans to offer macOS 11 Big Sur drivers for the printer in question (as far as I can see), you will probably have to rely on others to suggest workarounds. You could of course check whether an existing printer driver would work (may be limited by the operating system's built-in security technology).
