and because i’m a lazy ass i didn’t read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn’t actually have wifi

    If it isn’t connected to the internet there a much lower chance of ink janga.

    Get a USB cable and a device with WiFi. Install Linux and then setup cups as a print server

        I dunno, I’ve been.printing through a print server for decades. I find it far less problematic than wifi-connected printers (especially consumer ones).

        Consumer wifi printers are a kludgey mess.
