Hi,
This model appears to support Apple's AirPrint technology, so it should work without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).
If applicable, double-check the Wi-Fi settings (please note that the printer can use the 2.4 GHz band only).
AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections. This means that you can choose to wire the printer by Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of the router instead of using a wireless connection. Ethernet may be more stable.
You may want to reset the printing system. Then try to re-add the printer (using AirPrint).
Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)

A USB connection would require printer drivers from the manufacturer.
