Can a wireless USB adapter be used on a printer?
I have a wireless printer HP 5850, the radio died. I tried to connect via Ethernet, but whether the cable is bad or the entire network component in the printer is shot. It works fine via USB. I wondered if I could use a USB wireless adapter and connect a USB cable and see the printer on the network?
You will need a "print server" device network adapters usually due to network interface can not "do" the printer protocols to manage the printer.
Cheap Endangered:: Just hook it to a PC via USB and share the printer ...
Best solution: buy a new printer and a service contract ...
