They walked me through the setup until we got to a point where the app could find my network, but didn't allow me to input password. Canon told me to call Quantum Fiber and switch me from WPA 3 to WPA 2. Quantum told me they couldn't do that. I think the simplest fix is to buy a better printer. Will try a couple more things you guys suggested before I do that.
With all due respect, I think what the Cannon printer manufacturer told you was total hogwash. You shouldn't need an app to use a wifi printer. I don't know what printer model you have but, when buying a printer, don't buy the cheapest one they sell.
