WIFI on Printer

We bought a WIFI equipped printer - works fine most of the time,once in a while -- not --

Do printers use our hotspot WIFI to communicate, or is this technology embedded in the printer itself, and then linked to the PC?

    Every once in a while I have to unplug and the printer re-boots and all is ok. Give that a try. It usually works fine but once in a while the computer does not 'see' the printer son uplug and plug seems to re-set it.

    As I understand things, wifi printers are just like your laptop, smartphone or any other wifi products. It has an IP address and everything. When you send a print command it sends the info to that IP. Sort of like making a phone call.
