You are not concise on what the problem is. I would note that the 5Ghz WIFI support on this printer is limited and you are going to have better success if you program the 2.4Ghz wifi with a unique SSID and only allow the printer to connect to that channel. If you currently do not have a reliable connection to the printer, all the instructions in the world on installing drivers is not going to help and once you have a reliable connection your other issues will likely disappear.

my problem is that I'm not familiar with "ssid" or how to rename it. As well i do have the wifi set to 2.4Ghz. Does my printer need to be RIGHT next to my router? Because its only 10 feet away and cna't pick anything up
