Yes plug the cat5 rj45 plug in to the router port out and the ethernet side of your printer. Bring up the main menu on the printer find where it says network if you push ok it should take you to more network functions then choose either network wizard or print network settings this will give you the address the router gave the printer you will need this in a sec . Get your cd and make she if it asks you want to install network drivers when it asks you for the name or ip you put in the ip or url that was on the network page that you printed out, it should be something like 192.168.1.102 may not be exact but close.
