We have 2 computers, both running Big Sur. iMac is connected to Epson WF 3520 by cable and MacBook pro is connected wirelessly. Since updating to 11.1 the iMac cannot print and will not connect to the printer at all. The MacBook happily prints wirelessly. Why and how do we solve this problem?

Hi,
The Epson WF-3520 is mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a printer supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that a driver should not be required at all when using a network connection. Would it not be possible to connect the iMac wirelessly to the printer (via a Wi-Fi router)?
Otherwise, if necessary, and if you wish to use USB and a driver, try resetting the printing system and re-adding the printer.

did you install their big sur driver? Epson WorkForce WF-3520 | WorkForce Series | All-In-Ones | Printers | Support | Epson US
My husband has downloaded it several times but it will not install.
Oddly my MacBook is running driver 9.04 which is incompatible but works !
The problem appears to be solved. The macOS update to 11.2.2 allowed the printer to install. Thank you for the suggestions.
Good to hear that it worked with a new macOS update.
