Troubleshooting Printers:
Incompatibility may be the issue here. What's the model of your printer? What's the macOS installed?
Some Thoughts...
I. On the Printer Itself:
I would try printing to it using USB, seeing if it goes through. If not, it is probably an issue with the printer, such as its WiFi capabilities being down. If so, then it's an issue with WiFi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth (which ever is being used for this) settings. To connect to the network with it, you would do so on the screen on the printer.
II. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:
(Applies to Intel-Based Macs Only): Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for WiFi) become manipulated, technically. So, reset both on your Mac, so that they operate as intended.
III. Clear your Temporary Internet Files (Cookies & Cache) of Safari:
- Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
- Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.

IV. Try a New User:
Also, create a new Administrator user. See if it then works. If so, then it is something misconfigured in the current user. So transfer items over to the new user (i.e. photosand documents). Finally, Trash this User.
