LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm using a LaserJet Pro M479fdw in a location with two separate networks, one of which has wifi. The printer is currently connected to my computer via USB on the non-wifi network. I would like to simultaneously set up wifi printing on the other network without losing the current USB printing setup and without having to do some manual switch over each time I want to print from my computer vs my phone. Is it possible to have  both setups available at the same time so all my devices can print as needed? If so, how would I accomplish this?

No problems, connect the printer to wi-fi and run installation on a computer that is on the same wi-fi. The printer can work with USB and wi-fi connection
