Firstly,

to the forums.

From what I can see this printer does not have an ethernet port or wirelesss built in so there are two options you can have here:

1) Buy a print server that you plug into your existing router and then plug your printer into the print server. The print server will deal with all your printing.
eg. This print server: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/35655

or

2) Plug the printer by USB to one of your computers and use file and print sharing to allow your other networked computers to print to it. With this option however, you will need the PC the printer is connected to to be switched on for printing to take place as that PC acts as the print server.
