Final comment on this topic ...

If the Canon printer does not connect via WPS,

connect the printer to the Hub with network cable,

the iPhone will find the printer in that configuration.

Login to the Hub 5's menus and check both the iPad and the Canon printer are connected via WiFi

My iPad does not recognise my canon printer.  My iPad is connected to wifi, the printer is connected to wifi but when I try to send to printer, iPad cannot connect find the printer. I have one of virgin’s Hub5 installed last Monday. Prior to this everything worked fine.

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums @Harry81!

Can you please confirm if you've been able to follow the advice issued to you from @Client82, to confirm that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi services? 

Kindest regards,

David_Bn

I have checked and printer doesn’t seem to be on wifi even though the little blue light on the printer shows it is. Thanks

Have you tried resetting the printer's network settings then repeating the printer setup process with the new Hub 5 wifi?

You may wish to consider temporarily turning off the 5GHz wifi on the Hub 5 while you do the printer setup process (as the printer will most probably only work on 2.4GHz and may not like the combined SSID from the Hub 5)

You need to use the hub in modem mode and get your own wifi router with 1Gb ports
