As confirmed with the developers, the USB printer controller utility doesn't support to be installed on the latest Apple M1 chip.

@Kevin_Z i know it doesn't, i can read. The question is: Is there a plan in the future to make it available for m1 mac or should i just stop waiting right now, sell(or trash) my expensive tplink router and buy another brand????

@tsd Yes, I was also waiting on a M1 mac version. Would also like a discount on the TP-LINK TL-PS110U if it works with the M1 Mac Mini.

@Kevin_Z I am not on M1 mac but this beta fix is not working for me. Archer c9 and my printer is a canon g2010 (no lan port) .Developer cannot be verified.
Pleas help

This seems the utility is not verified safe by the mac, to solve this, please go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Open Anyway to allow the operation. You may check this for more details:

@Kevin_Z Thanks! It's a big step forward for TP-Link support. I've tried it with two different Macbooks Pro (2015 and 2019) both using BigSur 11.2.3. Its working great on the 2019, but the 2015 gets stuck during boot and the only way to use the computer is to boot in safe-mode and uninstall the TP-Link driver.
Do you know any workaround or newer version to try?

Is the printer controller utility running automatically when the computer starts up? What if you disable the auto-run, will the 2015 boot up correctly? You may search online for this setting as this:
