Yes, you can, I had a phaser 6100 a few years ago, had no problem at all with it being connected to the network - just make sure that DHCP is enabled on it to get an IP address automatically from your router - if you acquired the printer 2nd hand then it is possible it was originally set with a static IP address.

As for the HP, I would suggest going wired and and getting a serial to ethernet adapter, I try to avoid wireless where possible, if I can run a wire then thats what I do, much more stable for items that are normally always on such as printers etc.
