and because i'm a lazy ass i didn't read the specs but just read the search engine result.
I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it
Result: that $250 printer doesn't actually have wifi

i already opened it and filled with ink, if it was from amazon i'd do that, but i bought it from a small business and that would cause a big loss to them, the printheads are now primed and a return is e-waste as they're going to dry if sitting unused in a warehouse. At work we have many usb to ethernet print servers from the early 00s, they're now e-waste and i can get one for free (it's just that wifi is more convenient and i can place it wherever it fits, instead of routing a cable to the switch)
edit: wait... i realized only now that printheads are disposable (they're removable and not preinstalled) but they don't sell those as a spare part?????? FUCK! Will this be destined to the e-waste collection in 2-3 years?????
Even the printers that sell print heads as parts charge 3/4 of the printers price for them.
And, if you don't print from an inkjet inside of about 6 months they often get clogged.
Laser printers can sit around for a decade fire right up and be fine. Inkjet printers are but for a narrow set of circumstances destined in short-term for e-waste.
Well, the narrow set of people who print something more than twice a year.
