Epson ET2760 Printer (Eco Tank) Compatible with Big Sur?

I am BEYOND frustrated with this issue! I have an Epson Eco Tank printer (ET2760) that is a great printer ---no expensive cartridges to buy and the ink lasts forever.


BUT--since upgrading to Big Sur the printer won't work. It's either "offline" or can't be found at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading new drivers, etc. Just today I uninstalled and reinstalled, and was able to print ONE page from my MacBook, and ONE page from my husbands MacBook--then nothing! Printer can't be found.


Any ideas? I am about to go buy a cheap Canon printer for $44, but I really hate to buy cartridges.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

The Epson ET 2760 is supported by Big Sur's built-in AirPrint driver when configured as either a wireless, wired network device. Airprint does not support USB connections unless an AirPrint compatible print server is between the network and your printer.


If you have a networked ET 2760 or willing to follow Epson's instructions on how to configure it as a networked device, when that is done and the ET 2760 is powered on, visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners panel. Control-click on the ET 2760 entry, and select Reset printing system… from the secondary menu. The device will be temporarily removed from the print panel and detected in the Bonjour panel, where you select it and re-add the print driver as AirPrint without the Epson drivers. Once re-added, the printing should be restored without having to purchase that $44 Canon paperweight.
