Technically, it's not your Os that is not printing. It is the printer driver that is no longer compatible. Check the support web site of your printer manufacturer and download a compatible driver. Whenever an OS is updated or upgraded, some printers will stop printing and the download must be done to fix the problem. Please keep that in mind for future reference.

You are not the only one! My Samsung Color Laser went dumb after Catalina Upgrade also. Loaded Big Sur last night and Best Buy doesn't have a printer that will run on my MAC OS. SOO NOT COOL!!! I bought a PC so I can print today. It'll cost me lots to be down and not able to print. Pretty crazy to do work on the MAC... send files over to the PC to print. Mike from Wisconsin
Ronasara can you name a color laser printer that will work with OS 10.15 (Catalina) or Newer (Big Sur)? I have 3 IT techs pulling their hair out and they can't find a printer on the shelf that has a driver for the latest Mac OS. I'm sure their are some yet our Samsung guy says they do not have a driver patch written for our printers. HELP!
Yes I can. My wife has a year old iMac 27 inch. It is connected to a Canon MP560 color printer. It works with Big Sur v.11.2.1 and has worked with Catalina. Unfortunately, the printer is not new, so I don't know if it has been replaced with something else. When I updated the OS to the .1 version it stopped printing, so I merely went into the System Preferences file, then reselected it under Printers & Scanners. Problem solved. If your printer manufacturer doesn't have a driver for Big Sur, then try one for Catalina. Sometimes they will work. You have to try to find out. What has your printer's people told you? (You never said what printer you have.) Is a driver expected to be released ? If so, then when? Does it have the Air Print feature? If so, that will work and no drivers are needed. If not, then you can click on the link below where volunteers have written drivers for many older printers that are no longer supported. There may be one there that works. Last, if you can take the time to read various complaints on this forum about this same issue (which has been addressed hundreds of times) there are many suggestions for changing settings, etc. I would check it out. Here is the link:
after several reinstallation of HP smart and others, now printer is shown as READY but shows not installed.
when clicking Advance settings it shows " could not find printer home or EWS page"
Please help
Try this Apple Downloads site but First, read with what HP Printer it supports and see if your printer is listed
