Can't connect to Epson printer

We have 2 computers, both running Big Sur. iMac is connected to Epson WF 3520 by cable and MacBook pro is connected wirelessly. Since updating to 11.1 the iMac cannot print and will not connect to the printer at all. The MacBook happily prints wirelessly. Why and how do we solve this problem?

Hi,


The Epson WF-3520 is mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a printer supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that a driver should not be required at all when using a network connection. Would it not be possible to connect the iMac wirelessly to the printer (via a Wi-Fi router)?


Otherwise, if necessary, and if you wish to use USB and a driver, try resetting the printing system and re-adding the printer.
