Canon printer will not connect to a new network and router (from Spectrum to T-Mobile).

thank you

Yes, I was able to fix this problem with my new T-Mobile router recently and connect my older HP printer. The issue is the printer only accepts an older password format for the internet password. Download the T-Mobile internet app and change the password format option, there is a list. You may need to have the printer on so the app will see it. I forget which one worked, but there are maybe 3 choices, maybe something like n or n2? When you get the right one the printer will be able to log in because it can see the password. My printer gets connected by manually entering the login on a menu physically on the printer itself.
