Wireless connection option is missing in Photosmart C6280 all-in-one installation on Windows 10

When I was installing the full drivers for my old Photosmart C6280 all-in-one on my new Windows 10 laptop, I got to the place where it asks what type of connection I will have between my computer and my device.  It gives USB and wired Ethernet as options, but there is no wireless option available, even though when I clicked "Help" the third option is in the description.  With my old laptop I was able to both print and scan wirelessly, so I expect to be able to do the same on my new laptop.  All the buttons on the installation software were grayed out, including "Back" and "Cancel," until I made a selection so I clicked on wired Ethernet, and "Connect printer later" buttons, hoping the third option would be there when I went to the "Add a Device" desktop app later.  No such luck!

That is correct. No wireless on that printer.

USB and Ethernet only.

Verified in the Manual.

While it's true that the printer itself does not have wireless, it is connected to a network that I access wirelessly from my laptop.  It seems like when I installed the full drivers on my old laptop, there was a more relevant question, such as "Do I access the printer directly or through a network?"

Connect the printer via Ethernet cable to your router and follow the installation instructions.
