Reply to Big Sur Beta 7 breaks SMB?
The commands are not working for me. I have 2 other MACS that are using ElCapitan, and Catalina, and they both are able to connect to SMB Synology share CDMSNAS but the Macbook Air with Big Sur 11.1 does not see CDMSNAS on the network, but if I do the Go to Server and enter the smb://IP address, it sees it fine. When is this going to be fixed. I am very disappointed in this release so far, entirely too many problems.

Reply to MacOS Big Sur Beta Printing Issues
All of my HP Printers stopped working on Big Sur unless I used the Generic PCL driver which means no color. My only scanner is a HP OfficeJet 8600 and I have it wired on my network, and MAC wants it to be Air-Print, which I do not use here. So when I try to print I get an error that it will cause an error on your computer, and click OK and it continues, but the scanning seems to work ok, but the printing hardly ever works at all. I downloaded the updated HP Printer drivers that was provided in another Apple Support email, and it did not fix using the HP Drivers, just keeps telling me that the date on this driver could not be verified, and will not print. I just downloaded it. This is a huge mess, and I wish I could roll it back, because this has been a nightmare, and every patch, more and more things seem to break. I was very happy with Catalina which was not an old OS, barely a year when they started releasing Big Sur. Any idea when HP and Apple are going to play nice and Apple will get what they need from HP so that the most widely used brand of printers will once again work as nicely as they always have on MAC.
