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).
