Seems you are using MacOS Monteray 12.7 on your Mac:


If you haven't already tried this method:

See if Apple Support's online article for Monterey ... (or choose correct Mac OS at top of the article) can help:

Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support

_________________

If you still need help: You may want to try updating your MacOS first ... then try adding the printer again

What's new in the updates for macOS Monterey - Apple Support says MacOS Monterey 12.7.6 is th latest version:

Eg: says:" This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users"

Reminder note: It is always wise to back-up your Mac before updating MacOS.

Else, if your Mac has already been updated:

Then restarting your Mac may help: ie: Apple menu > Restart (deletes temporary files, re-estanlishes connections, may update recent setting changes etc., and often restores order if something is not working as expected.)
