HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148fdw
macOS 11.0 Big Sur

 My Laserjet Pro M148f printer on a wireless set up  goes offline when not used for a prolong time and cannot be connected to my MacBook running Big Sur 11 despite on printer the network connection is established and all diagnostic reports show no problem yet submitting a print job errors with printer not connected.

i have, however, can print from my iPhone using HP Smart as long as I change my wi-fi connection to HP Direct Connection which is painful. The printer HP Support is expired and I need to pay every time a fee but it’s frustrating why I need to do this every 2-3 months. Please give me some guidance for the MacOS as well as why I need to change the wording-fi setting on my iPhone to print. Thank You
