Windows 10: Home Networking

I have an older desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro.

It is connected to the internet via DSL modem/router.
This PC is ethernet wired RJ45 connected to the modem/router.
I also have a wireless laptop running Windows XP.

It uses a wireless connection to the same DSL modem/router to access the internet.

Both the laptop and the PC are members of the same workgroup.


Here is my question,


Can I connect the wireless laptop to a non-wireless ethernet network, allowing the PC and the laptop to see each other?

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
