Then all thats needed is to check your mac OSX printer settings to make sure the added printer under Preferences is set for the new IP address that has probably changed since you installed the new router and the printer probably has a new IP address from what the old was was when it was connected on the old router. I would remove any printers you see in Preferences/Printers and then add a NEW printer and OSX should either see the available printer or add a IP printer by looking at the routers client table to see what IP address the printer is getting from the router or look at the printers status page to see what IP address it goe from the router. Just need to set up OSX for a new printer pointed at the new IP address is all. Something you can contact the Mfr about as well as they will have more help and information on this. No setup files are needed. Make sure printer drivers are updated as well.

Yes, Printer is connected wirelessly.
The mac is connected wirelessly to the router. The router is connected wirelessly to the printer. Before when we were setup with the airpoter everything worked fine.
What is this from your reply?
