Printer is printing gibberish

HP PageWide Pro 577dw suddenly prints garbage when printing from my MacBook Pro. This isn't happening when using my PC. And, this started happening with BigSlur upgrade. What's going on with BigSlur. This is the third issue I've had since updating to it.

What printer driver are you using? If you downloaded & installed the driver from HP, then you most likely need to install the upgraded driver to work with Big Sur (if available). If you allowed macOS to manage the printer by picking a driver automatically, then maybe you need to reset the printing system or delete & re-add the printer.
