    Being fair, I avoid WiFi wherever possible, which is nearly
    everything at home. That said...

    *Most* printer, even going back 10+ years have a web access page
    internally. You can bring that up to do everything from status
    checks to config changes, so long as the printer in connected to
    your LAN. You just use the IP address of the printer to get into
    it (e.g. for one of mine... http://192.168.1.224 and--FYI--your
    router will be the IP block ending in 1, which for me is
    192.268.1.1). This works even if there is no display on the
    printer to get to thsi stuff, such as nearly 20 year old HP2015,
    with it's later added Ethernet interface card.

    Typo (of course)... That is 192.168.1.1
