Internet printer? Do you mean a network printer?

What printer?

Apple Menu --> System Preferences --> Printer & Fax

Just click the plus button and browse for the printer. If it's not there, you may need the IP address of the printer. Most modern printers will show up.

Just to make sure: You have an HP Color LaserJet 3500 connected to your local area network through an ethernet cable, and you also have a Mac Pro that is connected to the same local area network through an ethernet cable, correct? You would like to print using the HP Color LaserJet 3500.

Now I'm really confused. Is the Mac Pro connected to a hub? Specifically, what make and model is this device? And does this device actually have a USB print server in it?
