No,
Printer sharing allows printer sharing only, not any other capabilities as scanning or faxing where applicable
To install the HP software and gain full capabilities you must connect the printer with a USB to the computer.
To scan from multiple computers you would need a network-enabled all-in-one, you cannot do so with your printer.
