My Dell 1320c Printer has an orange blinking error?

Can I connect a Dell 1320C laser printer to a BT Home Hub?

• I have plugged the printer into the USB socket on the Home Hub and can see the printer when I open the Home Hub software on any computer. However I cannot add the printer to ANY computer nor can I see it on them or use it. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
