New router doesn't recognise air printer

Hi all, 

I've just upgraded to full fibre broadband, but since its been installed I can't print wirlessly from any device other than the Mac which is hard wired to the printer.

 

Printer is a Canon Pixma, which previously worked fine.

@Firepuffer if youbhavecthe white Sky hub go into the My Sky app to find the hub's advanced settings and changectge WiFi security setting from WPA3-T to WPA2 as the newercsetting can stop some devices connecting.

@Firepuffer 

Have you reconnected it to your new broadband router?

@Firepuffer you often need to reboot both the printer and the Mac before other devices can pick up the printer. Airprinting is great when it works and a pain when it doesn't.

tried this but still no joy.  Have tried connecting from the  printer.  It finds the network OK, but fails to connect?
