Just return the damn thing and get a network printer. This one is even
cheaper than the HP you bought which doesn't work. Only $90 at Newegg.
Has 10/100 and wireless ethernet print server built in:

Drivers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. As with everything "READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS FIRST" before you stick a CD in a drive. :) You should be
able to set the thing up simply by pointing your browser at the IP
address of the printer. Then, install the drivers on the PC(s).
