printer and computer have to be connected to same wifi with Comcast?

Comcast gives me two wifi connections, I'll call A and B.

If I connect my HP Offce Jet Pro 6960 to A, does my computer have to be connected to A, or can it be connected to B?

It depends on whether the two WIFI connections are routed to each other by the router. Is there a reason you do not want them on the same WIFI? Chances are one is 2.4Ghz and the other is 5Ghz.

I do not know if the two wifi connections are routed to each other.

There is only one router. I would say it's standard Comcast . There is another wifi that Comcast has making it a hotspot for Comcast customers.

All our devices seem to pick A wifi at random, as I notice they do not pick the same one from day to day.
