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. :(
