Product: Deskjet 2130

I have a deskjet 2130, It only has two ports: Power and USB, I'm trying to get it setup with my home network so that I can connect it to family devices, It is connected and working to the desktop in my own room. 

All I need to know is if the USB port on this printer supports an ethernet connection so I can just buy an adapter for it.

If you know of any other ways to get it connected please let me know

Sorry no, you can only connect it to one computer using USB connection. If you wish, you can

 

(a) Buy a print server and attach to USB port of your printer

(b) Make computer as a print server
