An attempt to print a test page fails with a CIFS unable to connect

What am I missing on getting access?
Not what you asked, but this model seems to have Wifi, so why not go
that route?

I have an HP printer. Systems don't connect directly to the printer
via wifi. So it doesn't matter if a system
has wifi or not.
The printer connects tp a wifi access point and systems can use
ehternet to access the printer. And, in my case,
mobile phones that connect to the access point can access the pinter.

The printer is connected to the "gateway" router which is a wifi
access point. As you can see, the system
"meimei" is conneted via the enternet interface.
That depends upon the printer. I have an HP6962 that has its own wifi
node that broadcasts and is automatically found by Fedora. Its a pain in
the behind, as all the other equipment also finds and lists the option
to use this as the main uplink router even though that is never going to
work. That also means that it is taking channels and cutting the
available bandwidth on my main wifi router.
As an aside, the driver for this automatic connection is just plain
broken, and can never connect to actually print anything. Deleting the
found printer and discovering it again always fixes the problem.
