    Are you asking for help in how to get them to print?

     

    You've got the printer and the router playing together, so the next approach might be to approach th9os from the device end.

     

    Have you looked for an app that you can install on these phones?

     

    This isn't something that I do often, but I do know that Canon makes an Android app that works on my Samsung phone.
