How to set up an HP6122 on home network with Win 7 laptop?

HP6122 works when plugged into laptop USB port.  Can't get it to work when it's plugged into an XP computer on the same network.

Have you install the necessary drivers for the printer on the computer with XP??

The best thing is to use a jetdirect. I have bought a cheap jetdirect e3700 on ebay and connected it to a Linksys router. I can use it on linux without any driver (hplip package only) and on Windows it needs just a printer driver. You don't have to even plug the printer into a pc through an usb port with the jetdirect card..
