USB Printer mini print server

[Chucktin]

I'm wiring a new-old house for a network and I'd like to try putting an older, Epson Stylus 2200, inkjet directly on the network. Adding an extra drop is trivial but ... Epson never made these to be networked. Anybody made one of those mini print servers work? Good idea? Bad idea? What hoops did you need to jump thru?
Thanks!

I recall setting one up for a friend years ago. I don't recall it being much more than plugging it in and installing a small piece of software on the computer

Thanks I'll put one on the budget plan.

Thought about that. Still got a 4 gig windows machine sitting idle that might work.
