First, ensure that your printer supports AirPrint - and that it has connected to the same WiFi network as your iPad. When correctly set-up, your iPad should automatically detect your Printer.
If set-up correctly, should you continue to experience difficulties, your WiFi Router may be unexpectedly failing to pass Apple Bonjour traffic on you local network - or your WiFi Router or Network Switch may be blocking this device discovery protocol.
The Apple Bonjour protocol uses mDNS (Multicast DNS) UDP port 5353.
You may find that restart of your network components will resolve the problem. You’ll need to restart your network devices in the correct order. Assuming that you WiFi Router provides DNS services for your network, restart devices in this order - allowing time for devices to fully boot/restart prior to restarting other devices:
Restarting your iPad, after restarting other devices in the correct sequence, is most simply achieved by a forced-restart of the iPad:

That was completely unhelpful. Aka it still won’t print. I’m about to smash all of my devices

… which suggests that you have a relatively simple network and that you don’t have any of the items that you don’t recognise in the list.
I include the full list as some tend to overlook either by omission or misplaced belief the items won’t influence the outcome.
The sequence of performing device restart is important.
