Need to print Wifi Direct

I can't connect my personal printer to my office network (WPA Enterprise). So, I have to switch to the printer's wifi direct network to print and then back to the office network. Is there a way to be logged into both at the same time or or have OSX (High Sierra) automatically switch to the printer and then back to the internet when done?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

No you can not connect to two wifi networks at the same time. The wifi connection directly to the printer would be an adhoc connection while the wifi connection to your company network would be an infrastructure connection. Connect the printer to your computer using USB or whatever other connection the printer supports.
