Thanks. I downloaded, and installed HP Easy Start app. It detected the
old HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 wirelessly and took over as the drivers. Wifi
could print and scan fine. If I tried to print with its USB cable, then
it doesn't work. MacOS kept saying waiting for the printer forever. I
could access USB printer's details and status, and even scan. With HP
Utility, I told it to print and it was fine. Why can't I print of
TextEdit, Firefox, etc.? I'm using a brand new Apple USB-C to USB
adapter dongle too. I already tried rebooting both the printer and brand
new MBP.
I tried the old 2012 13" MacBook Pro with its mac OS Mojave v10.14.6,
and it had no problems. What's going on? Is Big Sur that buggy? So
frustrating. :(
