Thanks for a quick response. Much appreciated. I can give that a try. Luckily, I understand enough about networking to do that. However, most people wouldn't and have to pay someone to do it.

That's in the Canon utility.
Some people like a belt and braces approach. Fix IP address on printer and reserve it on the router.
The R7800 may exhibit this behaviour because your printer was previously associated with the old router.
Fortunately, this issue comes up here very rarely. Then again, HP printers do seem to cause more issues than most, perhaps because they are more common.
Thanks!

That was a couple of years ago.... no problems since then...
