AX1800 WIFI Router - I just inSTALLED THE ROUTER - WORKS FINE EXCEPT MY PRINTER DOES NOT PRINT

       "AX1800" is a speed, not a model number.  Look for "Model" on the
    product label.  Firmware version?  Connected to what?

       Brand new installation, or replacing some other router, or what?

       How much do you expect the non-psychics here to know about your
    (unspecified) "MY PRINTER", or how it's connected to anything, or how
    it's configured, or how you tried to use it from where?

     

       "DOES NOT" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
    you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
    messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.


       If you have some (unspecified) computer/device which is expecting to
    find your (unspecified) "MY PRINTER" at some particular IP address, and
    you didn't reserve that address for it on the new router, then your
    (unspecified) computer might have trouble communicating with it at its
    new/different address.  As usual, many things are possible.
