    Had a look on the back of the printer and it's only got USB-B.
    Looks like I'll be going down the Raspberry Pi route to make it a network printer
    Doesn't it have wireless? If so you can use Thatto make it a network printer

    The printer is wireless but my PC (and another device) aren't.
    Both are currently connected to the network.
    Hence, I wanted to make a network printer so it's accessible to everything (wired or wireless)

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    It shouldn't matter. It sounds to me like you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist - or the wrong problem.
