Having issues with the set up. I have connected the ethernet cord from the printer to my laptop. There is no Wi-Fi connect on this system from what I could see. It mentions web-sites not a Wi-Fi connect.

If you are connecting directly with an ethernet cable from a computer to the printer you will need to manually set the IP address on both the computer and the printer. 

 

Your other option, if the modem or router supplied for your internet has wireless and wired ports, connect the printer to the router with the ethernet cable and you will be able to access the printer from a wireless computer/phone or other device. The wired and wireless portions on equipment supplied by an ISP are usually the same network segment.
