They are correct. There is not a gdi driver for the newer models and the pcl driver doesn't work.

If the PC has no ethernet port and the copiers port is free then you can use a USB to ethernet adaptor, and print through that.

The adaptor will be picked up by the PC as a NIC, and can be configured as such, allowing for printing and scanning through the PCs USB. It is how I used to test print with my tablet, before I got a docking station.

The USB printer port may work with an older GDI driver however the regular USB port is not live for use even with a USB stick. The idea of using a USB to ethernet adapter in the PC makes the most sense.
