Your IP address is likely wrong. Your printer needs a 9 in the 3rd byte I think.

It looks like you are using 10.0.0.0/16, so your router has nothing to do with this connection problem; it should connect direct through the switch.

It appears you have one or more static IPs assigned because they are not sequential.  I would check these settings and subnet masks on both the printer and PC.  You can run an 'arp -a' command before/after a ping to see if the printer shows up.

my pc ip config，gateway not core switch iP， ping printer is ok
iP address ： 10.0.9.20/24
gateway ： 10.0.9.2
