Dell Truemobile 2300 router question

I was wondering if I have a usb printer (canon) next to my dell
truemobile 2300 router, if I can buy a usb to rj45 cable to hook the
printer to the router and make the router act as a print server? If
so, can the dhcp assign an IP address to the printer or do I manually
assign a ip address to it? thanks.

Not exactly. For one, I don't know of a USB to RJ45 cable. You can,
however, use an inexpensive print server. Around $30-40.

Make sure you pick one that let's you just set it up with an IP address
rather than one that requires special software (the Linksys I have requires
that, but perhaps because it is a two port).
