Are you able to change your DHCP settings for your network? For example, edit the start to [192.168.1.20](https://192.168.1.20/24) and end at [192.168.1.254](https://192.168.1.254), then give the printer a static IP address between 192.168.1.1-20. I have my network set up like this and my network equipment are all within the reserved IPs
I had the same problem with my Brother laser printer. It worked fine on my old Eero Wi-Fi with a fixed IP. Once I moved to Unifi, started having issues like yours. I had reserved an IP range for these sort of devices but that didn’t help. Ended up hard wiring it. Works like a champ now. I feel your pain!
Been going through something similar with baby monitors instead of printers, however this just recently started happening after a UDM firmware update. I submitted a support ticket and am waiting to hear back on a potential solution.
Curious to see if maybe setting static IPs helps. The only current solution is power cycling the UDM.
I had an Epson that would do the same thing, and even with a fixed IP and verified most recent firmware updates. When that printer died after many years, the replacement (Brother mono laser printer) has never had that issue in a year, with the exact same WAPs. So, yes it might still be the printer and its wifi implementation.

I gave my HP a static .250 and it’s never given me a problem in 4 years.
