Can't connect to printer

Just installed this MR60 mesh router and everything is ok except now my computer can't find my network printer. How to fix?

    Is the printer online? 

    Is the computer setup for a private connection and not public (through windows)?

      My network connection was private. Don't know how to tell if printer was online; but I switched back to my old router, and the printer was discovered and added via W10. So why am I having problems with the MR60 router where I can't even "discover" the printer?

        The printer is what connects to the router, not the othe way around. I'd contact the printer manufacturer
