The following MF240 series printers are listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support (en-us, September 19, 2024):
So, I have to assume that your printer is AirPrint-capable, which is also indicated by the fact that your iPhone 8 could print (presumably without an additional app).
Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
The first thing to try in a case like this is often a full power-cycle sequence (including the router).
Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPhones, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPhones and all other devices/computers.
AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections. If you so wish, the printer can be wired by Ethernet to one of the LAN ports of the router instead (at least for a temporary test). Modern dual-band routers typically have "smart" device discovery and automatic Wi-Fi band selection, which sometimes can cause problems with printing (may require splitting/renaming bands). An Ethernet printer connection to the router may be more stable, and can avoid some of the difficulties.

Thanks for reply tried power off but I still get same result first no printer selected then I select mf240 and it comes up with the question mark next to the mf240 just seems like a wrong setting somewhere. Does print wireless from computer to printer frustrated
Thank you for the information.
Just in order to avoid any misunderstanding, the printer is wirelessly connected to a Wi-Fi router (the same Wi-Fi network as used by the iPhone and the computer), correct? That is, you are not using some kind of Wi-Fi direct printing to a network provided by the printer.
Why won't my iPhone 15 print to my Canon MF240 Printer?
