Not sure if it applies in your situation, but the printer is host-based - which means it doesn't have much intelligence itself and can't act as a standalone printer device. Instead, it must usually be hooked up to a computer which can act to take incoming print jobs and format them something the printer can actually deal with. Most print servers assume the printer is intelligent and not host based.

All the HP 1000 series printers are crippled like this, if you need a printer to share on a network look for one that supports PCL or PostScript. – Tony Edgecombe Dec 31 '09 at 9:06

Did you get a particular error message?

This is how I solved a similar, but not identical problem. I just hope that my findings set you in the right direction rather than producing a specific cure.
