Hi Sheryl

> So I need time to catch up- what does an ethernet port look like?
See here for photo of most common type of ethernet port and cable:

See here for description of ethernet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet

See here for origin of the name: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~rtoyama/ethernet.html

Yes, with the caveat that you'd probably need an ethernet hub between the mac 
and the printer. However, this then opens the door to directly networking your 
Wally (or its replacement), your new iMac and your printer (if it does have an 
ethernet port). The hub sits in the middle of the network, with ethernet cables 
from it to each device. 

cheers
