My wifi is down, I'm using a different network, how do I get my printer on this network?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.7
Depends on your Printer. Some manufactures allow you to choose the network from a display panel and others like HP requires you to use the HP Smart app when there is no Display Panel to choose the WiFi Network.
In my experience with Epson & HP printers, you have to remove & reinstall the printer if you want to change the WiFi network setup for the printer. It's the reason I have never implemented WiFi on any printer. I install with USB on one Mac and then enable printer sharing instead.

That will depend entirely on the printer.
What printer make and model is this?
Does it have a control panel where you can choose the network?
How did you add it to your Wi-Fi network originally?
You'll need to use the HP Utility Setup Assistant to configure the Wi-Fi network for the printer then while the printer is connected to the Mac over USB.

Or the HP app:

Laserjetp1102w
simple b&w printer
no control panel
It was installed originally some years ago, and I have forgotten how, except that someone walked me through many steps.
Thanks for help.
