That's the way most networkable printers are supposed to work. Some may require additional configuration, depending on your router/network setup.

I've considered purchasing a few of those for the old printers at work. $20 adapter is better than a $200 printer with a nic built in =D
let me know how it goes.

usb printers aren't too good with these. but lpt printers work like a charm

yes, check compatibility
usb support is very flaky (but common ones e.g hp lazers should be ok)
