HP Officejet 5110 and Print Servers

The only Multifunction printer that will fit in the space alloted is the hp Officejet 5110.  It is located in a cabinet a distance away from the computer.  The printer and computer can be connected by Ethernet.  This is a USB only device.  There is no Parallel port.  

I have a Linksys  Wireless-Ready  USB print Server.  I have successfully had this device work with plain printers.
The Linksys USB Print Server wouldn't work with an Epson CX6400 multi-function printer - I gather that some multifunctions are by their nature incompatible, but not all.

Does anybody know if the OJ 5110  would work with the Linksys?  Can I install JUST the printer driver without the Fax and Scanner portion, so that I can avoid print server trouble?

I know that HP has a wireless USB print server.  The specs on that don't list the OJ 5110, but also don't say there's any incompatibility either.  HP has a line that says "Works best with...."   I could put in a wireless access point, if I had to.


Thanks.
