My HP Pavilon desktop computer has gone kapuk. I hate to get rid of a perfectly good HP 6110 all-in-one printer which was networked through this desktop computer. I would like to know if it is possible to connect the printer directly to the modem/router, once I purchase an adapter (USB Female to Male Ethernet RJ45 Connector Plug Adapter Converter LAN AF Network), Can this work?

There are three laptops in the house.

The adapter you mention can likely only be used on a PC that can load the proper device drivers. Drivers can't be loaded on to a printer.

As previously mentioned, a small print server is your best bet to getting your printer networked.
