USB - Ethernet printer cable

[danhenshy23]

Is there such thing as a USB to Ethernet cable?
I am trying to get my printer onto the wireless network bridge so it can be used by other people. Only problem is that there is no Ethernet port on the back of my printer.
Was wondering is anyone knew if there was such thing as a cable that converted a printer USB cable into an Ethernet cable.

If not does anyone have any idea how to tackle my issue as i am sure many people have been in the same boat before as many printers dont have an Ethernet cable.

So how would the setup be layed out with that then?
The diagram isnt to clear as to how the mini print server connects to the printer?

The printserver plugs into the printer with the supplied cable. The RJ45 jack on your cat5 network cable plugs into the printserver. Using the supplied software, you install a tcpip printer port in each computer. You install the printer, on each computer, to that port. On one computer you install the management software that enables you to configure the ip address of the printserver. All of the above is just a guess. I have used many printservers but never a usb version. I'm guessing it's about the same.
