Printing problem with Safari

I have problems off and on with the print command when on websites with Safari. No matter how many times I click the print icon on the page to print something like a recipe, nothing happens. I can print in Pages, so the printer is working. Sometimes when I have this problem, the print window will pop up long after I've given up and decided to try later or copied and pasted the information into a Pages document. I also have an older Mac laptop It's on my desk just a foot or so away from the other one), and sometimes I can print from it even when I can't from my newer one, although the other day I couldn't print from either. This problem has occurred often on a website I'm currently using a lot (I've printed pages from it countless times before, so the difficulty with the print command is only recent), but it has also occurred on a few others. As an experiment, I just tried to print something from that site on a PC that also connects to my printer, in a different part of the house, and the same thing happened. This suggests the problem may be with the site or perhaps with some printer-WiFi connection. What kind of quirk could I be dealing with?
