That's the way most networkable printers are supposed to work. Some may require additional configuration, depending on your router/network setup.

I've considered purchasing a few of those for the old printers at work. $20 adapter is better than a $200 printer with a nic built in =D

let me know how it goes.

yes, check compatibility

usb support is very flaky (but common ones e.g hp lazers should be ok)
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
