Since installing Monterey, I can't connect to Cannon MF642cdw. Tried the basic stuff, shutting everything down and restarting, reconnecting printer to network, computer to network. Nada. Need help.

It is listed as being as Airprint compatible and thus it should just work. What happens when you reset the printing system and try readding the printer? Are there any options for drivers?

Thank you for your reply. No solution yet. I tried resetting the printing system. I have not yet tried installing a driver, my understanding is that I shouldn't have to as it is an AirPrint compatible printer. I also have an older iPad, which I have often printed from. Interesting: the iPads connected to network but can also no longer locate the printer. So, the problem is related to the printer, it seems. I have unplugged the printer, then reconnected the printer to the wifi network many times, the printer shows it is connected, but it can't be located by the Mac or the iPad. Thank you for your help.
Can you print an information sheet by using the printers buttons. How you do that depends upon the printer. Frequently you depress a button when you turn the printer one. The information sheet would include network information.
The connection information screen on printer says Master1 network. When I select "Latest error information," it says "No errors."
The computer preferences>network page says Network Name: Master1. Check boxes under Network Name: "Automatically join this network" checked; "Ask to join Personal Hotspots" checked; "Limit AP Address Tracking"" unchecked; "Ask to join new networks" unchecked.
This was weird: When I was fooling around with the checkboxes under Network Name, and the "add printer" box was open elsewhere on the screen, the Canon printer suddenly showed up in the add printer box, and I selected it. While I was trying to write down what I had just done so I wouldn't forget it, the Canon printer just disappeared from the box! I can't get it back!
Again, thank you for your help.
Finally, I had a Master5 network, a duplicate I think, show up on the computer preferences networks, not selected, which I deleted. Still no printer, wah!
From the printer panel on the printer can you totally reset the printer and start over jointing network?
