Jeff: I have an HP 3330 laser at home that's on the network with three Macs. I had to buy an external print server in order to get it on the network. HP, of course, recommends the JetDirect version, but I bought a generic one at CompUSA for $40 or so and it works fine. Just plug the USB cable into the print server and hook the print server up to the network with an ethernet cable.
It's been a good printer/copier. I have not had much luck with the networked fax/scanner features using this arrangement, however. It faxes and scans fine on it's own, but doesn't communicate well over the network for those functions. A JetDirect may work better for those purposes.
