Should you use a printer capable of wired lan and wireless lan in wireless lan mode?

Sure, why not? But more specifically, it depends on how you want to use your printer. If you don't mind leaving it on all the time and feel comfortable entering the wireless LAN settings, then this is probably the best option. Then you have complete mobility with your printer and can put it anywhere you want. On the other hand, if you only want to use it when you're using a certain desktop computer, or want to save energy and not leave it running all the time (or the manual instructions for setting the wireless LAN scare you), then put it into wired mode and connect to a LAN-connection computer or your LAN router if it has a USB port. Alternately, if your printer also has an ethernet port for a wired LAN connection, the wired connection may offer you better robustness and self-configuration than the wireless LAN.
