    Hello,

    You need a network print server device with USB support or the printer itself needs a network port. You cannot add a network port to the printer, it needed to come with it already.

    The other way is to connect it to 1 computer and then share the printer on the network. Why does it need to "not be connected to a single computer"?

    This Linksys print server will do exactly what you want.
