Can not connect to printer on one laptop

So me and my wife have two laptops. Both of them are Macs. We also have a printer (Canon MG3600, though I really doubt this matters). On one machine, we can print just fine. On the other, printing hangs indefinitely and displays The printer is not responding . However, and here's where things get crazy, when viewing in CUPS, the printer appears just fine. Additionally, using the Printer's network diagnostic to print an IP address, pinging from one machine produces (as expected): 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.x.x: icmp_seq=547 ttl=64 time=4.758 ms 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.x.x: icmp_seq=548 ttl=64 time=4.3

This question is one of 3 reports of the same problem:

How do I connect a laptop to an ethernet-connected printer via wifi?

Nobody has answered it yet, here or anywhere. There's an AI-written closest known fix to try.
