Unable to communicate with the printer
My wife’s 2021 16” MacBook Pro (macOS Monterey) suddenly is “Unable to communicate with the printer at this time”. The printer is located on our local network. It’s not shared and it’s Air-Print enabled (No problem printing from our iPhones). She has a strong Wi-Fi connection. I’m able to print wirelessly from my MacBook with no issues. Since I can print from my laptop I don't think printer software is the issue.
I’ve tried:
Resetting the print system
Adding the printer- “Unable to communicate” so I couldn’t add it
Rebooting the router
Restarting both the printer and her laptop
Pinging the printer - no luck (Oddly I tried pinging it from my laptop and it didn’t bounce back either, even though I can print).
I reviewed the other comments and references and found nothing I haven’t already tried.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3
