Hi LeakFinder,

Since all the troubleshooting hasn't gotten your printer to work with Big Sur, we recommend reaching out directly to Lexmark to see if they have any updates or options this issue.

All the Best.

Thank you for your effort to help me.

I did everything in that list plus some.

I even changed the cable between both iMacs and the result is the same: "Filter" failed, said on the Lexmark E260d menu.

Both iMacs were recently updated.

Please do not give up helping me.

Thank you.

Uwe
