Officejet Pro 8720
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Does the 8720 have an Ethernet port? If so, where is it - I haven't been able to locate it and the manuals don't show one.

Printer has WiFi all set up, but the only device that can print to it over wireless is the Android phone and I didn't change anything on it to reconnect/print via a new router. The laptops no longer can print wirelessly; I want to try Ethernet from printer to router.
