Is it possible to connect USB Deskjet all in 1 printer to my wireless router (which has 4 provisions for connecting ethernet cables)through some kind of an adapter which has one female end for USB and one male for connecting to Router?..Idea is to connect a printer perpetually to LAN without the need for switching on the host computer(samba route) while accessing the printer from other PC s /laptops which are connected to a home network ..

But I doubt if the All in one printer would be recognized directly without a host computer..

Hi,

DuckDuckGo search for 'print server +linux'. Print server would fulfill your description for service on the network.
