Simply not true.

The entire networking setup, including wireless can be setup on the 
setup menu on the printer itself. This has been true on every one of the 
printers I have setup. I always setup my Linux connectivity first to 
test the printer because it is so much easier than the Windows setup. 
Once I have it working with Linux I setup any Windows machines that need 
access.
