So, I have a MacBook Pro and an HP LaserJet MFP M281fdw and I cannot print wirelessly all of a sudden. The Mac os is Monterey 12.6.3--updated a day or two ago. I have updated the firmware and the software for the printer. Both computer and printer are connected to the WiFi network and have very strong signals. I have rebooted the network several times. Same with the computer and the printer. When I connect the printer to the MacBook using the USB cable, it prints fine. I can print wirelessly using the WiFi Direct function. The regular WiFi printing function does not work. When I disconnect the USB cable the computer cannot find the printer! Any ideas out there?
