What's the specific OS version of the Big Sur? Please show us more details about this "can't add it to Big Sur printers." issue, some screenshots would be helpful for the issue visualization. We will try to investigate then.

@Artcland 

For ppl who have the message "developer not verified---move to trash" it could be solved by writing this command on Terminal WITHOUT PRESSING ENTER

xattr -cr 


be sure there is one space after -cr and drop the app on the Terminal window

 

you should see something like this 

xattr -cr /path/to/application.app

 

now press Return (Enter)

 

If requested type your admin password and press enter again (it seems you aren't writing anything but don't worry press enter after the password and it will work. PLEASE NOTE: if you don't use a password and the Terminal asks it, you have to set an admin password in System Preferences, reboot the pc and do this action from the beginning)

Hi Kevin, Even i am facing the same issue. Although USB Printer Controller shows the printer and the auto connect is on, still am unable to print. And, when i try adding the printer using 192.168.0.1, it says unable to connect. TP Link Archer C1200 is the router and Big Sur 11.2.3 is the OS.

Can we have some screenshots that illustrates the issue, then we can try to analyze? 

 

Are you able to find the printer on the controller? If yes, what is the error message when you tried to print?

@Kevin_Z 

 

Thanks for all your work on this guys and providing these new drivers.

 

I have Archer C7 and successfully managed to install the new USB Printer Controller app.  My printer was found without any issues (see attached screenshot).  However, I don't see any printers available in my macOS system.  I've tried adding the printer both as a local printer and as a network printer using the IP address shown in the USB Printer Controller app.

 

I am running the latest BigSur version, v. 11.2.3.

 

What am I missing?

@TUllman 

 

Have you installed the printer driver on the BigSur 11.2.3 already? Can you print if you connect the printer to the BigSur directly (If it can connect directly)?

Yes, I can print when connecting the printer directly -- that's how I've always done it.  The second I connect my printer directly via USB, it shows up.  I can also see it in Brother Status Monitor app -- see below.

Thanks for the screenshots. Please try to uninstall the printer controller from this macOS, then reinstall it from beginning, check if there will be a difference.

 

We will report the issue to the support engineers, they will likely reach out to you via email to continue to analyze the issue.
