My PC is hooked to a router via ethernet. A printer I want to use is linked via wi-fi. I can't find a place to change my pc to wi-fi. I know it should be an easy thing, but I can't seem to find it.

It sounds like your pc does not have a wifi adapter built in. Fitting a wi-fi adapter can be a bit tricky.

However, check in device manager - you may have one and just need drivers.

Easiest option would be to buy a usb wifi adapter from Amazon or similar for only a few pounds which is pretty much plug and play.

you dont need to be on wifi. just the same network.

Windows Key + R to open run box
copy/paste the code below:
Code: 
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL AddPrinter
1736276034764.webp
1736276068942.webp
1736276104349.webp

then input your printer's IP and install
