Can a "normal" router be converted into print server using ethernet to usb adapter to plug usb printer? - ethernet server
In other words, I plug the USB printer to the Ethernet port of my router via Ethernet to USB. Does this work? I know it's too simple and straightforward. What am I missing / overlooking? Thank you in advance.

no.
an Ethernet connection for network traffic only USB directly to the printer, which will have nothing to do.
You need a device between the network and printer translates the information on your network information that the printer can understand. You need a print server. It will translate the information network and address of the printer via a printer driver and send to the printer.
Just think of it this way. It is more expensive Ethernet to USB adapter .... However, it is so expensive.
