Connect a printer/scanner from USB to ethernet

[Norm]

I would like to run a HP printer/scanner with USB out to
the ethernet input of my router. I cannot find a
printer/scanner server to handle this . Appreciate a bit
of info on this. I want to be able to access from two
computers via my router.

If your printer/scanner isn't setup to work on a network, I doubt if a
usb-to-ethernet adapter would do you much good, as your printer has to be
able to accept a network address. You could attach it to a computer and
share the printer from the computer onto the network, but I haven't seen a
scanner that would share unless it was specifically made to do so.

If you do get it to work, I'd like to know how you get it to work.
