I'm not sure how to reach the SP settings, so some help with that would be grateful.
Also, the Interactive Screen's USB port is the only thing that seems to work, but, as you know, it only works for Flash drives and SD cards.
My concern is that the manual states that ethernet connection is disabled if you have the wifi card installed in the printer, even if you set the connection mode to ethernet. If that's false, then I may have to retry an ethernet connection to the new router we got. (I also reconnected to the new router using the WPS method from Easy Setup mode).
One thing I have confirmed is that it's 100% NOT a wifi/internet issue. The issue is solely from the printer itself. I don't know if it's because of some "secret" SP settings, or if it's because of administrative problems created by the person who set it up in the first place, but the printer itself cannot seem to connect/respond to any other device.
Thanks for all the help you've all given, and I think this printer problem cannot be solved without a technician hacking away at it.
Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

To anyone who is curious as to how this issue was resolved, prepare a facepalm: Wrong IP Address.
My misconception of the IP Address' correctness was due to the fact that factory resetting the printer didn't touch the IP Address.
I should have tried setting it to Auto-DHCP from the beginning.
Nevertheless, I learned a lot about printers and ports from this experience.
Once again, thanks to all who gave helpful advice throughout my desperate tries at understanding the issues of the printer.
Especially Slimslob who answered basic knowledge questions as well.
