On my wife's computer I get what I assume is the normal ping response with a ms-value for each ping.

My Macbook like my wife's is connected via WIFI, mine doesn't even have an ethernet connection.

Everything worked fine until I upgraded to Mojave.

The WIFI in the house consists of

A Fritzbox router connected to the DSL
Another Fritzbox router used as a WIFI repeater, where the printer is connected via ethernet.

My Macbook lives in the same room as that repeater fritzbox, so it usually connects to that WIFI.

There is also a little Fritz WIFI repeater, which is what my wife's computer is connected through.

Just to make sure that this doesn't play a role, I took my computer into that room, it connected to the WIFI through the little repeater (the Fritzbox can show the Mesh-setup in detail). No change, it could still not access the printer. The WIFI access was now identical to my wife's Mac, at least in terms of where the computer was connected in relation to the printer.

Ergo, I am pretty sure it has to do with the computer's setup, or Mojave itself. There must be a setting I have overlooked, which prevents the computer from talking properly to the printer.

So first things first. Check that ping actually produces different results
on your wife's machine. Then make doubly certain you have the right IP
address. After that you have to start investigating why your computer can't
see the printer. Do you have any separate routers or wifi access points
other than your main router?

Suppose your printer's IP address is 192.168.1.5. Open your terminal and
type in

ping 192.168.1.5

If your computer can see the address it should start responding
continuously until you hit ctrl-Z. If it doesn't, then for some reason
your
computer doesn't see the printer.
