imageCLASS LBP632Cdw Not seen with Xfinity on Mac

I have a Canon Imageclass laser printer. Before we upgraded our router in December, we could print from all our devices. Now that we have the new modem, it’s been nothing but a 🤬.

I went to print and can’t. I went into my printer and connected it to the new network. When I go to print, it says it’s offline. I look in my xfinity app and it shows the printer under the connected devices.

I’m using Apple devices - MacBook, iPad, Mac mini, etc. Worked fine before the new gateway.

It’s the newest gateway, so there’s no ability to split out the 5ghz and 2.4 ghz.

Greetings @Atalanta ,

I've had Xfinity for a few decades. However, I use my own modem and network equipment.

See these two articles I wrote in regards to wireless network assistance.

For our benefit, please provide the model number of your gateway? XB8, XB10 etc? Also, the actual model of your printer, please.

Thanks for the links, but when I click on them I'm informed I don't have permission to view.

We had been using our own modem and router but recently upgraded (lol) our service and had to change modem to their PoS which has been a problem ever since.

My equipment:

Xfinity - XB8 modem/router

After messing with it for a couple days, it's finally printing. I don't know what convinced it to cooperate, so I can't post a detailed outline of what I did to get it to work right.

What I did do:

Connected the printer to the new network - entered the password for the new router and waited for it to say "Connected"

Made sure I was on the same network as the printer.

Installed the newest printer driver on my MacBook.

Removed the printer from my printer settings and installed it again.

Mind you, I had gone through all these steps several times before I posted here so I don't really know what ended up getting it to work.
