1. A printer comprising:
a first interface;
a second interface different from the first interface;
a processor; and
a memory that stores computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the printer to perform:
in a situation where the printer operates as a parent station of a first network:
sending, to a communication device via the first interface, setting information for the communication device to belong to the first network;
establishing a wireless connection with the communication device via the second interface by using the setting information;
receiving first print data from the communication device by using the established connection via the second interface; and
executing a print process using the received first print data, and
in a situation where the printer belongs to a second network to which the communication device currently belongs:
sending, to the communication device via the first interface, information different from the setting information;
receiving second print data from the communication device via an access point by using the second interface; and
executing the print process using the received second print data.
