The Wi-Fi network could not be joined.

I'm printing someone but the The Wi-fi network could not be joined.

Try moving closing to the wireless router. Alternatively, run Wireless Diagnostics to troubleshoot. So My mom got a new hard drive on my old computer in 2019 replaced the old hard drive died. So I can't print because of the Wi-Fi could not be joined. So Please thanks!

Unable to print since MacOS 12.2 I am at a loss as to what is happening. My MacBook air M1 is connected to your bog standard network. There are two USB Connected printers to PC's that I use. I have had no problem printing to either of them for months, until the latest MacOS 12.2 update. Now I am no longer able to print to either of them. Each time, I am able to see the computers on the network, and connect to them (Ping, Samba/Workgroup, etc...), but the printer system Error Log says "unable to connect" with no further information. The two Printers are older, but the drivers are still supported: Brother MFC-2680W Brother HL-L6200DW (Both printers use USB instead of network due to only being able to support WEP encryption) I have tried to following: Restart Mac Restart relevant PC's Restart Router Deleted and Reinstalled Printer Reset Printing System Deleted and reinstalled drivers Reinstalled printers on relevant computers. Reset Network on Mac Reset Keychain access for all relevant computers on Mac After two conversations with Apple support, the suggestion continues to be "reset the mac". Sorry, but such a small problem does not require such a drastic measure, especially since it was working just fine on 12.1. The odd part is during Add a Printer, the computer can see the printers in the Samba share. It can see every computer on the network, and manually connecting to them works just fine. So I am at a loss as to what this problem is. Every other computer on the network can print to each other, and this Mac was able to until the update. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Mac mini will not connect to local devices (printer, Airport Express) My 2018 Mac mini running macOS 10.15.7 recently stopped being able to connect to Airport Express stereo system (yes, ancient device but 2018 MacBook Pro running Catalina has no problem using it) and no longer will print from a wireless Brother printer (again, all other devices in the house, iOS as well as macOS, can use it no problem). The mini is connected to the same wifi network, no internet issues, no issue accessing network drives connected to the wireless base station. Multiple restarts, changing my location in the Network preferences, and NVRAM reset all failed to help. Any suggestions? It's clearly just a problem with local networked devices. Thank you! Prem
