Nope - see this HP model:

http://www.superwarehouse.com/HP_Deskjet_6940/C8970AB1H/p/729823

Supports OS/X and Windows, includes a 10/100 Ethernet interface, and costs about $130 - there is a larger version that has increasedpaper capacity (400 sheets vs. 150) for about $50 more...

Not sure if HP has other models, but I'd strongly suggest looking into their website since I "bumped" into this printer so quickly (I google'd "hp ink jet ethernet").

HP has had a line of "professional" ink jet printers for years, some of which even supported Postscript natively...

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier...
