Epson NX330 not working after recent Big Sur update Not sure what the happened but after updating with the Big Sur recently, my epson stylus nx330 is no longer working. I remove the printer, tried installing the "updated" driver from Epson and no luck. I recognizes the printer when I say "add printer" then it says "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device. successful-ok-ignored-or-substitued-attributes" and then I have to cancel. What am I doing wrong??? Ugh.

Epson ET2760 printer shows as offline with my Mac running OS Big Sur Why does my Epson printer frequently show as "offline"? It's a new printer and has worked well even up to yesterday. But today it shows "offline". I haven't made any changes to my OS or to the printer settings. Anyone having this issue? What's the fix?

Hi,

Are you using the latest drivers (for macOS 11 Big Sur)?

I thought I had downloaded the correct driver but when I read the description it was for the scanner. Downloaded the correct driver now and all working.
