What is the model number of the router? You can find it on the device label.
When you download the printer controller utility and unzip it, can you find a guide in the folder, try to refer to the steps in it to reinstall the utility. You can also refer to the article below to give the permission to install it manually:

I just bought Mac Big Sur version 11.3. which contains Apple M1 Chip. After having tried to install, I realize that the latest printer controller utility doesn't support this type. Could you provide us an updated printer controller utility?

Update: After updating macOS from Big Sur 11.5 to 11.5.2, the app has been functioning as expected without the errors mentioned below.
After installing the beta for Big Sur, I am prompted to restart the computer. Before restarting, I am able to print to my TP-Link connected printer.
However, after restarting I am unable to print and I am prompted by the TP-Link app that the installation is incomplete and to install again. After installing I am prompted to restart the computer, but before restarting, I am able to print to my TP-Link connected printer again.
Yet, after restarting, I am prompted again by the TP-Link app that the installation is incomplete and to install again. This continues over and over.
I have also attempted to install after disabling SIP in recovery but that does not work.
In addition, KCodes is using kextcache while installing which is now deprecated.

It looks like you're trying to update the system caches. As of macOS 11, the personality cache is no longer in use for keeping kext matching information up-to-date. For more information, see `man kmutil`.

Kindly forward to KCodes for a resolution as this is not good for TP-Link.

So the update means you are on the macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 now, and there is no issue with the printing?

Windows applications, Windows servers, and Windows style commands are all used in the Windows network printer protocol. Because it can't run such servers, the router employs a proprietary solution. A real computer, even one running Linux, could do this, but routers can't.
So, in essence, you'll need that software package because it speaks the same language as your router.
Alternatively, you can host the printer on a networked PC that is always on. This is what the Raspberry Pi is for.

I honestly do not have an answer for that whether or when there will be a printer controller for Apple M1.

This is for those who have successfully installed Big Sur on their unsupported Mac and do not have native internal Wi-Fi support. You can use any one of the supported USB Wi-Fi adapters to connect to Wi-Fi. This also works for Hackintosh builds as well <a href="https://homeofapk.com/"> Download apks </a>
