Change the printer from a USB connection to a network connection
If you first install the printer with a USB connection, you can later change to either a
wireless or Ethernet network connection. If you already understand how to connect to a
network, you can use the general instructions that follow. For more detailed instructions

Note For optimal performance and security in a wireless network, use an access
