I have two different model HP Laser Jets sitting in the basement that have
the ethernet port in the back.

My home network consists of several client PCs connected via cable router.
Can I "network" the printer? If yes, would I just install the driver for
printer on each PC and give it the assigned IP address?

I'm asking here before just trying because these heavy duty suckers are
heavy, and would have to be taken down a flight of stairs in order to test
them.

TIA,
Dan
