Can't get new iMac (big sur) to connect to epson printer

The computer sees the Epson printer but doesn't connect. I've tried changing printer cables, uninstalling epson driver and reloading it, restarted everything, changed usb ports and all I'm getting is swear words when I continue.

iMac, OS X 10.11

Thank you.


Big Sur 11.1?


Are you using the latest drivers?

Also, if there is a problem with USB, you may want to test an Ethernet connection (for example, to a LAN port of a Wi-Fi router).
