If you have tried all of the above, then you may be out of luck connecting this printer to the Hub 5 via wireless.
As far as I can see from a quick scan of the manuals, the default setup method is WPS which is generally a bit hopeless for a reliable setup process.
Do the initial setup with the wireless printer in the same room as the VM hub to ensure a good wifi signal strength.
There is a setup page below

Final suggestion from me would be ...
Go to the bottom of the setup page and reset the printer's network connections as explained there.
Turn off the 5 GHz setting on the VM Hub 5 temporarily so only 2.4 GHz is running
Set the 2.4 GHz signal on the Hub 5 to 802.11b/g/n/ax mixed as per jbrennand post at #16
(Edit: As per suggestion from Client62 at #25 below. Set wireless security on the Hub 5 to WPA2)
From the link above refer to the section 'Standard USB Connection Method' with a view to doing the initial setup of the printer wifi whilst plugged in with a USB cable (this means you can manually enter the Hub 5 network details SSID/wifi password from a keyboard rather than relying on WPS).
Once you have gone through and completed the wireless setup routine via USB and manually entered you Hub 5 wireless info, see if the printer appears in the list of connected devices on the Hub 5.
If it does, turn on the 5GHz wifi on the hub and see if the connection holds up.
If still no joy, you may be tied to using the printer via a USB connection.
