    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)

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