Cannot use Samsung printer
Hello,
I cannot print with my Samsung printer CLX-3305. The universal PCL driver does not work and I could not find any suitable working driver for Big Sur. Is there any solution?

Provided you using it as a networked device, Apple's built-in AirPrint driver in Big Sur supports this Samsung/HP CLX-3305{FN, FW, W} models. You will not need any drivers from HP to use the preceding devices on Big Sur.
With the device powered and networked, visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and right-click on the CLX-3305 entry in the Printers listing. Choose the Reset printing system… from the secondary menu.
The existing printer entry will be removed, and a Bonjour confirmation panel will appear indicating that it found your device on the network. Select that printer entry, and proceed. The next panel will be where you select AirPrint instead of any HP/Samsung drivers, and then re-add the device. The AirPrint driver should also allow you to scan with this color MFP laser using Apple's Image Capture.
