Yes, a network issue is a likely culprit. Verify the printer's IP address and ensure it's correctly configured on your network. Check your router's settings to ensure the printer isn't blocked. Ping the printer's IP address from your computer to test network connectivity. A weak Wi-Fi signal can also cause problems.
