Help New Router connect to Canon Pixma M4250

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I got a new router and successfully connected to my laptop tablet and mobile.
I have got the wifi signal on the printer and I have been able to select the router on the screen. I am then asked to put in the Password which I have done. My problem is that I can't seem to be able to scrool down to ok and done.
I think if I was able to do this my problem would be sorted. Any ideas for a resolution. I have spent a long time without success
The blue WiFi light is on. I am particularly anxious to print Christmas letters to enclose with cards.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Sue

    When you've entered your wifi password select "Done" by pressing the left function button.

    I held the WPS button but nothing happened I am not sure how long I should have held it for. I will give it another try but am out of patience tonight with it, Thank You Sue

    you just press the WPS button once & it starts flashing. It gives you about a minute for the printer to pair

    My Canon 4250 only paired that way
