2.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.

3.) If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button  at the bottom of the list.

4.) Click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.

5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint or Secure AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.

I recently upgraded to the Big Sur OS and since then, I cannot either get my HP Envy 7640 to show up in the Image Capture window or to use the app, PDF Pen Pro (the latest version)...as the app depends on Image Capture to function. I have tried several different procedures (including deleting and re-adding the printer) to try and get this to work but so far, nothing has helped. I need more help, please!
