Hello,


Your question appears to be macOS Big Sur-related, so I cannot see any reason why you should not at least try to find an answer here.


The HL-2030 is supported on OS X 10.10 and lower.

However, we have seen examples of successful use of a macOS Catalina 10.15 driver with other unsupported models. A Catalina driver would be 64-bit, and may therefore work even with macOS 11 Big Sur. Look upon this as an experiment. It may or may not work with your printer.


First of all, reset the printing system.

What happens if you carry out a test with, for example, an HL-2130 version 1.5.0 driver for macOS Catalina 10.15?
