Cannot find home network printers, etc, even though all other Macs work just fine. Bonjour does not work. How do I fix this? There is no fire wall program on machine. Soft ware is up to date. Reboot make no difference. Help?

Network printers get randomly and continuously disconnected after macOS 11.2.3 update Network printers get disconnected after some time although I can reach their settings page using Safari or other browsers. If I turn OFF and turn ON again the printer it connects but then it disconnects suddenly. If I restart macOS the printers get online for a while but then they disconnect as well. I tried to remove and add again the printer as well as resetting the printing system. So in the end I tried to add a printer by its static IP address... This approach seems to work but I don't like it very much moreover I don't know how to apply it to the built in scanner of my multifunction printer. Is it is bug of macOS 11.2.3? Are there any users experiencing the same problem? Any workaround better than mine?

Network printer keep getting lost Every time I try to print from my MacBook Pro to a network printer it can't find it. If I delete the printer and add it back in, it works fine until the MBP goes to sleep. When I wake it up I have to delete and re-add.
