Surprisingly good networking support for an inkjet printer. According to

the specifications here...

..it supports wired and wireless networking, as well as direct connect 
via usb. It doesn't say what printer protocols it speaks though. 
Probably doesn't talk postscript, but if it talks lp then it should be 
fairly easy to set up under a *nix OS and you won't need to use Samba to

share it.
