You'll need to find the IP address of the printer now. You should be able to print out a printer configuration report at the printer and that should show the current IP. Once you have that, go to the printer setup on the chromebook and phone and enter in the new IP.
This is the most common reason - there are others, but without knowing your network and printer specifics it would just be guessing.

With most newer printers, you don't need the IP address. See Post No. 5. The printer will automatically find the wifi network, and all you need is the network password.
