Connect Printer To Guest Network While Remaining Isolated From The Real Network. Possible?

Hello,
We have an Archer AC 1750 C7 router V4 & would like to use a Canon wireless printer with Airprint. But, we'd like to keep the printer off the main "real" network that we use for banking & stuff. (We wish this for security. We do this with televisions & other IoT items.)
I'd connect the iPad to the Guest network and connect to the printer which will also be on the Guest Network. Then, print via Airprint to the printer from the iPad.
The glitch is that I cannot figure out int he Router Settings how to let the printer be on the Guest Network while keeping the printer off the main network.
Is it possible?
Thanks for helping,
Paul
PS: I apologize for the wrong model numbers in the boxes above the post. Out model is not listed so I chose any one that would let me post.
Guest network is a wireless network, so if you connected your printer wirelessly to the guest network you can isolate the guest network:
If you connect your printer by an ethernet cable to the router, then it's not in the guest, but in the main "real" network.
