Well, OK. Scanning the HP web site it looks like "Real printers"
start at about $200 in the all-in-one department and go up rapidly
from there. Unless there is some kind of USB-to-Ethernet dongle that
can be attached to the lesser ones.
There is- its called a JetDirect box, works on nearly any HP printer. But
for native ethernet, only the high end all in ones have it. Those should
also have native 802.11b, it was our new feature on those models about 2
years ago.
