Print command in Word not working after upgrade Big Sur from 11.1 to 11.2

After installing the Big Sur upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2 the print command in Word (2016 suite) does not work. There was no reaction at all. And it is also no longer possible to export/convert a Word document to PDF format. That command is no longer present in the list.

Strange is that Excell documents can be printed. That program works correct.

Restarting the Mac did not bring a solution; the safe modus dit not help.

It seems to me a bug in 11.2.

I am looking for an solution for that print problem with Word.

Correction of my issue.

'Print' command does not work in most situations: an Excell, PDF document or mail can be prepared for printing, but at the end it stops and the printing proces doesn't start, but instead reports an issue.

On the over hand: the Brother iPrint &Scan app works well for the PDF. However the app doesn't support Word or Excell...

So my issue and is expanded: the printing command in big Sur 11.2 failed.

Who can help?

Perhaps try deleting then re-adding the printer in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. I am running macOS 11.2 and can print just fine from MS Word and all other applications.
