Hi,

Based on this:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpl06721&locale=en_US&prodSer...

your printer may have:

Optional Networking     

10Base-T and 10Base-2
10/100Base-TX
Token Ring
LocalTalk

Quick and easy: set up printer like page #13 "Ethernet connection to a wireless network" as mentioned in the following document:

  h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00389927.pdf

Otherwise you have to buy a network card for it. Other option may be more expensive than buying a new priner.

Regards.

ps. Please disregard the last sentence.

Dont worry about it, i fixed the issue myself. I had to reset too factory and re setup the IP address.
