How to change from USB to Wireless Color ImageClass MFb42Cdw

When I first bought my printer I tried to connect to my laptop wirelessly but it wasn't working so I had to use the USB, but now I really need the wireless option, so how do I change to wireless from USB?

It doesn't show what to do if your printer doesn't show up in select device

Hi JCassiW.

Try using the printer's interface to PING the computer's IP address. If the computer cannot be pinged, then either the computer and printer are on different networks (such as if one is using a VPN), or the router is preventing the two from communicating. In the case of a VPN, disconnect the computer from the VPN. In the case that the router is blocking cross-communication, refer to the router's documentation and support.
