Samsung Xpress SL-C480W Color Laser Multifunction Printer
macOS 11.0 Big Sur

Problem Description
My Samsung printer Xpress SL C480W has worked perfectly so far. Three days ago I scanned about 80 pages. To do this, I connected a printer cable (USB 2.0) between my MacBook Air and the printer. When scanning, I selected “combine multiple PDFs in one file”. After about 10 pages I had to restart the printer manually and continue the scanning process with a new file name when saving. Finally I finished and unplugged the printer cable from the printer.
My prints have been done very well over the last three years via WLAN WPS and router. Now we wanted to print yesterday and the PRINTER wouldn't start up after the start button was pressed. Instead, the DISPLAY says = “SYSTEM INITIALIZE”. The blue LEDs flash briefly every few seconds. Nothing more happens. At this point the printer freezes. No buttons can be activated on the control panel either. Switching off the printer via the control panel by pressing the ON/OFF button does not work either. You can only turn off the printer by unplugging it.
Do you have any tips on how to get the printer working again? Where is the mistake?

Greeting from Germany to all helpers!
