After recent update of my mbp 15" 2018 to 11.3.1 (Big Sur) icdd continuously uses 100% cpu in my home environment.
Sofar I wrote a script that kills it every 10 seconds, but this is not a solution.
Reboot helped at first but not anymore.
I understand that this is part of image capturing but I still want to use my computer...
Is there anything one can do to disable it?
Here are a few things to try:
1) Boot in safe mode, according to instructions here: How to use safe mode on your Mac
Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key as your Mac starts up.
This may delete some caches files that could be causing the problem.
2) Reset your SMC, according to instructions here: How to reset the SMC of your Mac
3) Reset NVRAM, according to instructions here: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac
I did find a post with the exact same problem and the best solutions there were to delete the caches and try resetting SMC and PRAM. Unfortunately, one of the other suggestions was really, really bad, dangerous bad, so I'm not including the link.

That's not possible for me -> to many printers in my network!
But I've found a solution! Did this: Deleting the icdd plist file by terminal from a second admin users account.

Thanks. Tried all that, but it didn't help. What did help though was to switch off my both printers (hp laser jets with scanbeds). I guess I need to wait for HP Driver update?
All the suggestions above did not work. I also I deleted als active printers in the system settings.
Still ICDD is consuming 99% of CPU on my Mac Book Pro 16" after update to 11.3.1! Please help.
What helps me temporary, is to physically switch off all printers and reboot the mac after that. As soon as the mac is on the same network as a running printer -> everything is dead.
icdd permanently uses 100% CPU after update to 11.3.1
