wireless profiles
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network.
Many wireless devices have configuration utilities that allows the device to have
wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the
computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless network.
Not all wireless devices support multiple profiles.
The printer only supports one wireless profile.
