Thats a pretty old b/g/n printer. It might have issues with the new security (wpa3) or even just the new wifi standards.

I read this to myself this morning and it smacked me in the face 10 mins later... "old" printer.
Well... i figured it out. i had the router set on 5g only and not 2.4/both
I only set it on 5g because im in a small space.
I knew it would be something so little and annoyingly stupid.
