Yeah you can, just set up your printer, it should be either on the cd that came with your printer or in the book, you just have to go into the printer settings and set the ip adress, lets say your ip is 192.168.1.25 then your printer will be 192.168.1.[any number but 25] if you put in the cd it should set it up
Here is a more expansive explanation:

Configure a network port-connected MFP configuration (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing)
In this configuration, the MFP is connected directly to the network, and all computers on the network print directly to the MFP.
NOTE: This mode is the recommended network configuration for the MFP.
1.
Connect the MFP directly to the network by inserting a network cable into the MFP network port. Then power on the MFP.
2.
At the MFP, print a configuration report. See Networking page (HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP only) .
3.
Insert the MFP CD-ROM into the computer. If the MFP is already set up, click Install Software to start the software installer. If the software installer does not start, navigate to the hpzsetup.exe file on the CD-ROM and double-click the file.
4.
On the Welcome screen, click Next and follow the prompts.
5.
For Windows 2000 and XP, on the Installation Options screen, choose the installation option. Hewlett-Packard suggests a recommended installation, if the system supports it.
NOTE: For Windows Server 2003, use Add Printer Wizard to install the print driver. Scanning is not supported in this network configuration for Windows Server 2003.
6.
On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network , then click Next .
7.
On the Identify Printer screen, identify the MFP either by searching or by specifying a hardware or IP address, which is listed on the Configuration page printed earlier. Click Next .
8.
Allow the installation process to complete.
NOTE: To install additional printer drivers (PS or PCL6 black and white) use the Add Printer Wizard and choose the network port that was created during the network installation from the MFP CD-ROM. Additional printer drivers are located on the MFP CD-ROM in the Drivers folder.
