Based on what you're asking I'm going to assume you have access to a network which is administered and controlled by someone else. So I guess the obvious and probably somewhat dumb question is, why not just ask whoever admins your network to move the printer, or ask them what it would take to get the printer moved the right way instead of trying to Macgyver your own solution?
Short of that, I probably won't cost as much as you think to get someone to run a CAT6 drop for you.
The problem is that it's a small company, and the printer stuff was done by a small rental company which no longer has the capacity to set up anything on the network.
I have experience with computers and some basic networking. However, some of the hardware displays only in Korean. If I do anything that screws up IP addresses, then I may end up with downtime, something I can't afford.
tbh in the long run, what I really need to do is gut the whole shit system and replace it with a wireless system, and redo all the port forwarding etc. myself. But I have more important things I want to do right now.
