Model: Archer C2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 5.0 v0032.0 Build 170207 Rel.49213n

Hi, I migrated to MacOs Big Sur but the tp link utility doesn't seem to work. 

When I try to install It sends me the message the message to Allow the application on System Preferences --> Privacy 

but the app doesn't appear. So I don't know how to go further in the installation process.

Hello, thank you for patiently waiting.

 

Our developer provided a beta version for the printer controller utility, which can support the printer sharing on the Mac Big Sur Version 11.0 (ensure first your router firmware supports the printer sharing feature), you may install it to give it a go:

Note: This printer controller utility doesn't support the latest Apple M1 Chip.

Hi, thanks for bringing this up. 

 

While we may say sorry that there is currently no newer version printer controller utility that can work with the macOS Big Sur, you are suggested to connect your printer to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet if possible.


As confirmed with our R&D, we will release the new printer controller utility for the macOS Big Sur in the near future, but we are sorry that we can't provide you an ETA yet. Please kindly keep an eye on the official website.

 

We hope you could understand.

I use now mac OS Big Sur ver. 11.4.

It contains Apple M1 Chip.

I guess that's why the tp link printer controller utility doesn't work.

Do you have an intention to offer a new version ?

I think there are other people like me who will say the same thing.
