Your printer is waking up from sleep and getting a different IP address from the Wi-Fi system it is connected to. It is online but you have an old address. It is like someone changing their phone number and not telling you.  I assume your smartphone works because it prints directly to the printer and does not use the router.

 


For general help for new router or printer please refer to this article in our printer database.

Please provide the exact model name of the printer for better assistance as I may be able to find videos to show how to connect or fix the problem. A printer can be a PRO or a PLUS or have the letter 'e' after the number and that can make a big difference. Some printers with the same number ID could be a LaserJet, Deskjet, or Officejet.
