I changed from my old Macbook Pro (bought in 2001) to a Macbook Air with MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3 and have not found any solution to installing a driver for my Samsung Xpress2020 laser printer - all the queries given refer to Airprint but not to a USB connected one. How do I fix this without buying a new printer?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
The Xpress M2020 is not supported by Apple's built-in AirPort which only supports selected, networked printers, not those connected by USB. HP updated printer/scanner drivers for the SL-M2020 device in Feb 2021 for Big Sur.
Once you install those drivers, you will need to visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners panel, right-click on the M2020 in the Printers listing, and choose Reset printing system… from the secondary menu. This will allow you to re-add the device, and choose the drivers. you just installed to allow printing/scanning.

For best results - check with the Manufacturer of the Printer ( Samsung or HP as HP bought the printer division from Samsung ) for updated drivers. It is their product which they control and develop drivers for it.
