M1212nf MFP
macOS 10.14 Mojave

Hello, My M1212nf MFP is hooked up to my iMac running Mojave (10.14.6) via USB, and is having problems: I often get  "the printer is offline" when it isn't. I'd like to try connecting wirelessly instead. Can I? How? TIA for all help! Ch.S.

This device does not have wireless built in so you would have to purchase a wireless to usb print server. A better option would be to simply connect it via a wired ethernet cable to your internet modem, if it has an available port. Connected via a wired connection the printer would be available to any computer or wireless device that is connecting to the same network. In most home setups the wireless part of the internet modem is the same network as the wired.
