I got there.  Unplugged the USB cable form the AIO.  Plugged a cat5e cable 
into both the router and the AIO.  Switched everything on. 

Go to first computer (the wired one.)  Opened CUPS. -> printers -> new network 
printer.  Click on default.  Click on default.  Test printing and scanning 
from 1st computer.  Rinse and repeat from second computer (the wi-fi one).  
Total time:  a few minutes.

I love CUPS. :-)

Thanks all.
