easy start can't find sw for my photosmart 7520, refers me here, where there is none. where?

[minorgeek]

i can't find the software downloads for my printer.

i follow the clicks to get it and the only software it shows is easy start.  so i download that, and it tells me

it can't find my software and suggests i come back here.

i'm on macosBigSur. 11.0.1, 1 yr old powerbook pro 15"  2019

catch 22

help?

perhaps related:  web services doesn't work.  nothing wrong with the network.

it seems to be sending me to a non-existent server.  (dns can't find it, neither webpass nor google)

i saw something somewhere that said eprint was replace by something else, but can't find it, don't know where to download it, how to make web services work?

i'm not likely to uninstall, which would make my printer (all in one) inaccessible without any new software to download.

also tried product updates from printer touch screen, but it says there are none.  it might have the wrong server, too.

thanks in advance!
