I have a HP PSC750xi printer/scanner/copier, and it currently is connected to my computer. Would it be possible to get a Ethernet to USB converter so I can connect it to my Linksys router? Are these converters even available?

The vast majority of ISB printers are PC dependent, IE, they don't do the processing internally, but do it on the processor of your PC thyrough the drivers. This is why most if not all of them won't work on print servers

Ok, I was just wondering. Thanks for the info, it makes sense. I guess I will just find a old Pentium 2, and connect the printer to that computer, and connect the comp to the router.
