The electronic device will need an ip in order to communicate with the network, and that device will need to contact the printer at its assigned ip. Generally devices don't have that much smarts to them to be able to manipulate ip's in that way.
Yeah, I looked up some solutions, and they are all too high tech-- they can have settings set by the network, which means they are devices with IPs assigned. What I essentially need is a kind of walkie-talkie that picks up a LAN signal, sends it to its counterpart, and outputs on another LAN cable to the printerr-- but is completely transparent to the system.
My wife came up with a very good idea. She is having new CCTV cameras installed, and they are going to hardwire them, so she asked them to bring some extra cable. Looks like I might just have to pay for the cable.
