windows 11... no error message, just says printer is off line... when I go back to wireless, it prints and scans fine

Could it be your printer is getting a different IP address with the wired connection?

You have to install the printer software on the computer with the connection method you are using.

You should also give the printer a Static IP address, not using DHCP, and set your router to reserve that address. How you set the router may require assistance from the supplier/manufacturer.
