Smartphone operating to the printer

[Sviehbeck]

I just got a pixma mg2922 printer
I'm trying to set up the phone to work with printer. As I do it. I turn on nfc and WiFi. It then asks to connect with lan. I guess the pc router. Why do I need to use lan. Do I have to have a home internet. My phone has internet and should work that way? I'd appreciate help here. Thank you. Scott

I simply want to use the phone directly to the printer without the hotspot activated. I see that I can connect without the router through direct connection to the phone from printer itself.
