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?

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.

@Kevin_Z Thanks for your kind support, if there are future updates of the beta software, where do I can find them without asking here? Is there a beta download center or something similar? Best regards

FYI, the beat for big sur bricked my macbook pro (mid-2015). Took hours to recover.
