Is the Ethernet crossover cable securely plugged into the printer? (It will click when it is
securely plugged in.)

Is the printer’s network configuration correct for the network being used? For example, is
the printer's IP address reachable on their network? (You can print out the printer’s internal

One of the best debugging techniques is to start with a very simple set up to get the adapter
working. Then add one additional complex feature at a time. Make sure each feature is
working before proceeding to the next feature.
Set up the adapter using the following settings. Then change the SSID setting. Then change
the Authentication setting. Then change the Encryption setting, etc.
