The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.

The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.
Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.

What router do you have?
Have you checked with your printer manufacturer?
When you're other devices are all working/connecting, and its just the printer with issues, I'd check with the printer manufacturer.

Excellent news.
Can you tell us how you fixed it?
If you provide some details on how you fixed you could become a hero in the eyes of someone else in the same boat.
