USB 2.0 Network Print Server with Ethernet Cable

I have an HP OfficeJet 4500 Wireless printer. However I don't have a wireless router so until now I had to connect the printer directly to my laptop using and on-board USB port. With nifty little print server, connected to a LAN port on my "wired" router, I can now print from my network even if my laptop is turned off. Printing is a tad slower than when the printer is plugged directly into the USB port but with the added flexibility I gained, I don't care. Its easy to install (a cd and docs are included).

This is my second USB to Ethernet printer adapter. The first was of a different brand. Of the two, this one is easier to install. It took about 5 minutes to get setup and print a test page.
