Sometimes the network settings get fucked up because someone factory reset it or something. You can print the current settings by pressing ''Go'' 3 times within 2 seconds. If it got factory reset, the IP address will probably be <code>169.254.32.12</code> so you can fix it by connecting your linux laptop directly by ethernet and then something like:

  sudo ip addr add 169.254.32.11/16 broadcast 169.254.32.255 dev eth0
  sudo ip addr add 169.254.32.11/16 broadcast 169.254.32.255 dev eth0


Then you can visit the [http://169.254.32.12/printer/main.html settings page] in your browser and change it back to something reasonable.

=== Fixing the settings ===
 
Tell wifi to use sudomesh:
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/wlan.html
** Wireless Network Name (SSID): sudomesh
 
Then change the wifi TCP/IP settings:
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/tcpip2002.html?interface=2
** IP Address: 192.168.42.12
** Gateway: 192.168.42.1
 
Then make it use the wifi instead of ethernet:
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/multiif.html
** Auto Switching ( Enable Both Interfaces )
 
The printer will restart and the page won't reload. But now wifi should work. For some reason you can't have wifi + ethernet at the same time.
