   Being fair, I avoid WiFi wherever possible, which is nearly   
   everything at home.  That said...   
      
   *Most* printer, even going back 10+ years have a web access page   
   internally.  You can bring that up to do everything from status   
   checks to config changes, so long as the printer in connected to   
   your LAN.  You just use the IP address of the printer to get into   
   it (e.g. for one of mine... http://192.168.1.224 and--FYI--your   
   router will be the IP block ending in 1, which for me is   
   192.268.1.1).  This works even if there is no display on the   
   printer to get to thsi stuff, such as nearly 20 year old HP2015,   
   with it's later added Ethernet interface card.
