Using ethernet port with an rj145 to usb converter

Hi guys,

my printer is an old usb one and RN104 does not work as a printer server: so my printer isn't working as a net printer when connected to an usb port.

I'm thinking to buy a rj145 tu usb converter as this

to use the 2nd ethernet port to connect the usb printer and assign it as a net printer (with IP).

 

Do you think it could work?

 

Thanks a lot
