How do I test my wired network connection if the printer isn't printing over Ethernet?

Test the network connection by pinging it: Click Start > Run, type cmd and press Enter, then type ping, a space, the printer IP address, and press Enter. If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working. If ping doesn't work, restart the printer and recheck all connection steps.
