Printer USB to RJ45
Anyone know if it's possible to connect a USB printer to my Linksys router / AP via RJ45 connections? I know there are cheap USB / RJ45 adapters available, but will they work in this situation? Don't want to run to the expense of going to a proper wireless printer server.

Thanks.

No it won't work. You need drivers for the USB/RJ45 LAN adaptor to work which can't be installed on your printer.
