Given the age of the Kyocera Mita hardware, parts are probably NLA (new from Kyocera). You run into this problem with the bulletproof HPs (like the LJ 4 and 5) and the HP LJ 4000 series due to their reputation for being nearly unkillable. Even the P4015 is as bulletproof as the 4000/4050/4100/4150/4200/4250b was, as it's basically the same engine with a newer toner. The solution with those is to have the card installed in the printer but keep a spare EIO card or two around as HP no longer makes them.

However, this works better with HP because of how many of them are sold, so there's a surplus of printers and accessories like cards. This isn't the case with the Kyocera you have.

As @jayeff pointed out, the OEM P/N for the Ethernet card is FS-21E. I looked on eBay since that’s the key place we get the HP EIO cards, and I didn’t find any, but your best bet is to keep looking and buy one as soon as it comes up.

You're more likely to have better luck making a "print server" out of an old Windows or Mac PC, like a surplus USFF PC with an 8th/9th gen Intel process or similar Ryzen 5. You can also see if you can find a USB print server.

Hi @getanehabinie

Has the printer got a network interface card installed?

If not then search for Kyocera FS-21E (supplier example only), to find suppliers that suit you best. They're not cheap
