When you try to print is there an error message of some kind?

Customer Replay

yes, I already entered that info. here it is again;
printer is in use; unable to get printer status

Can you make a screenshot of that error message, please?
To take a screenshot, press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command, and 3.
If you see a thumbnail in the corner of your screen, click it to edit the screenshot. Or wait for the screenshot to save to your desktop.

Alright, let's first start with closing the printing window and rebooting the printer, please
After that try printing again and let me know if anything changed
