First things first, the device looks something like this so you don't have to assume for which device this guide is for:
This device was manufactured by Edimax in the 90s and it just so happens to work well with even ancient printers like the HP 5L. The real device's name is: PrintSir 1P/9E and it has a unique PS-something name. Do not google that as it unique per each unit (I think).
As this device is old I am assuming you found it either on Ebay, Flea Market or the local dump and want to make use of it. This is quite a problem because those can be password locked. Thankfully mine wasn't but it had some network settings I had to get rid of.
However this might not be your case and I'll list how you'd use it depending on what network settings the last owner left it on.
