   Perhaps you and the printer aren't connected to the same router.  I   
   assume you have a wifi router; do you have a management app for it?  My   
   Eero's app lets me see who/what is connected.  Some "target" devices   
   don't seem to need the wifi password, and maybe your printer connected   
   to the neighbor's wifi.
