Default Printer connectivity

I have always had my printer attached through a print server using the
USB cable so I could access the printer through either computers hard
wired to the router or wireless through the route

Now I am updating the printer. It is an HP 5740 multi function printer
and has Ethernet, USB or wireless capability. It will be in the same
cabinet as one computer and the ATT gateway.

What is the best way to connect it to the system?

Continue to connect through the Ethernet?

Connect the one computer through the USB, and access it wireless through
the other computers?

??????????????????

I think the easiest thing to do is just plug the printer's Ethernet into
the router shared by all your computers.

When you go to "add printer" it's a trivial task and will be done pretty
much automatically.
