Printer connected to router but setup fails to detect

[Cyberdynesystemmodel101]

Hi Friends and thanks for looking at my post. I have a cannon MG6100 printer which I am trying to get working with my Lenovo x230 laptop running windows 10 64 bit. I have successfully connected my printer with my BT home hub 5. But when I run the cannon driver software and select connect over WiFi the setup always fails saying unable to detect printer on network. My knowledge is limited but if anyone can suggest anything to try I would be very grateful.
