an Ethernet cable, rather than through a wired network connection.
1. Ensure that the printer is not connected to a wired Ethernet network.
2. Restart the printer.

Note:
Ensure that wireless connectivity is disabled on your computer.

the 169.254.x.x range, and is therefore on the same subnet as the printer.

wireless settings. For details, refer to Connecting to a Wireless Network.
