Answer:
You need to buy a USB to wireless print server adapter to make it work correctly. Here's some links: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-print-server.htm http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=387&name=Network-Print-Servers http://www.google.com/products?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4HPIC_enUS309US255&q=print+server&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=yNzwSvndOJOANojmyIoH&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQrQQwAA

I think that all depends upon how the the driver software was written. I don't know if this will make it a multi-user printer. THAT depends upon the print server and the driver software. If the driver software requires two-way communication to the printer like I think it might, it's a single-user printer. some printers, like the HP Officejet 8000/8500/8500A series, are made to handle up to 5 users. workgroup laser printers are made to handle much more. you can try it, if it doesn't work you can always send it back.
