If you want to add the printer to your local WLAN follow this description. The manuals, drivers and additional software are available here.

Many thanks! Do you own a Canon Pixma?

All I know is see if your router can see the printer! If I can just put that IP in your favorite browser and use it’s wiki page!

You are correct, WPS was not enabled on the router! Once enabled all is fine now.
