Connect Windows 11 to a USB printer connected directly to the router

Hi,

I have an old HP Laserjet 1010 and I am trying to attach it to the router to share so it can be accessed by WIFI. The printer is not wifi enabled so this seemed the most logical option. Within the router's homepage i can see it is being shared and even shows this: http://vodafone.broadband:631/printers/HP-LaserJet-1010_Understairs. (picture at end of message

However, whenever I try to add the printer to Windows 11, whichever route taken I cannot seem to add the printer, even with the address linked above. Does anyone know how to successfully connect? Connecting to a shared printer by name is the most logical, but it does not work and i have tried the other options too. Thanks in advance
