How can I go about getting this printer to work via wifi and wired network at the same time? When everything is functioning by Ethernet there is not a problem. As soon as I enable and set up wifi for laptop use it (which works) everything that is working via Ethernet cable fails?

I haven't got that printer, but you'd usually use one connection or the other.
If you've connected the printer to the rest of your network (i.e. your router) by Ethernet then any device that's connected to the same network (wired or wireless) will be able to see the printer.
There shouldn't be any need to use the wireless for the laptop.

If you're trying to connect directly using wireless you must be attempting to create an ad-hob wireless network.
It's something you'd only usually do if you're using the printer as a standalone device without a network. This will knock out other network connections (I just checked the user manual and the information is in there).

Much obliged. Thank you. Don't know what I was thinking lol.
