You need to reassign an IP address to your wifi printer that's within the scope of the new router as it 'may' have changed. Almost certainly the SSID would have changed.

Easiest way is to use the one button wifi setup. Press it on your router, it's either by physical button or a button click on the web admin page, then press the button on your printer. This should set up the new IP connection for you.

hope that makes sense.

Thanks but not sure about the button. Is this the one marked reset on the router?

Go into the router admin page and you should see the printer as a wireless device. The router should be assigning IP addresses automatically

It won't if he doesn't manually try and connect to the new SSID. And that will likely have changed with the new router install.

NOOOooooo......lol.
Don't do that. THe button should be marked, possibly with "WPS".
