After lates macOS update, my MB Air can no longer find my printers on the network. I've used Macs since the 1990s.
Tried everything recommended on <https://discussions.apple.com/post/question?communityId=2094020>. No Joy, or even any thing else to try. Please advise.
MacBook Air, macOS 13.3
This all worked fine until the latest Ventura and Hotspot Shield (HSS VPN) updates. After working with HSS CSAs, discovered HSS is blocking communications from my Air to the two printers, apparently treating them as separate web servers "outside the local network" and tries to send print information from their service.
Have stopped using HSS.
HSS cannot be installed on my router; looking for a router-based VPN.

Wiped HD, reinstalling macOS, will recover Data from backups
Are they wired and connected to a computer or are they wireless?
For wired, at each computer I'd removed the printer, reinstall it and assure sharing to be enabled. Be sure the computers are powered up.
For wireless, you may need to trouble shoot each printer's wifi capability and reestablish them with sharing enabled.
My experience with sharing printers on an Apple network is just not very good. For that reason, each of our production Macs has its own printer. Some more expensive than others.
Tried all of those, still no joy. Tried everything I could find on internet, Apple.
