We have OJ 8740 Pro AiO printer in our 2-person office.
Currently the 8740 is connected via USB cable to my Windows 7 desktop PC with no problems.
My office partner just bought a Windows 10 laptop and I want to add access to the 8740 printer.
The Windows 10 laptop has wireless capabilities, but my older Windows 7 desktop does NOT have wireless capabilities, so what would be a viable method for both computers to access the 8740?
Thank you for some help. I cannot figure this out.

Connect the printer to your network and then install its software by selecting a network connection.
Once connecting the printer to your network, either with an ethernet cable or wirelessly, it will be available to install with a network connection for any computer connected to the same router, either if the computer is connected to the router with an ethernet cable or wirelessly.
For a wired network connection you may follow below steps:
For a wireless connection follow the below steps:
Once the printer is connected install the software on both computers as instructed in the document, then print, scan, and fax capabilities will become available for both computers.
