So, after reading a bunch of replies, I tried the solution where you just set the printer up thru WIFI and it works great.
Of course, it only works now if the internet is up.
Where I live, internet is spotty.
So I can't generally print when it's windy, snowing, raining, or whatever.
Then I just plug it back in to USB and eat the extra paper when the error message prints.
Sigh.
