The printer does already have a static IP address. I'm trying to establish a wired connection because the wi-fi is sketchy in my old house, even with range extenders.
I've created a wired connection from the router to the room where the printer is - there are three other pieces of equipment (TV, Firestick & Stereo) now wired in that room; with each the transition required no intervention on my part. However, my router will not find the printer over a wired connection - and, as I said above, the printer's setup menu does not appear to offer this choice.
There are two RJ11 ports on the back of the printer: one, I assumed, was for connecting to a router; and the second for a fax, maybe?
I'll circle back to my original question: ''Is a wired connection even possible?''
Looking at page 164 of your printer manual does not show an input for a LAN cable. WiFi or USB connection only.
