Wireless Printer Adapter Can A Wireless USB Adapter Be Used On A Printer?

Can a wireless USB adapter be used on a printer? - wireless printer adapter

I have an HP 5850 wireless radio link is dead. I have tried to connect via Ethernet, but whether the cable is bad or the entire network component of the printer is used. Good works via USB. I wonder if I could use a USB wireless adapter and the USB cable and check the printer on the network?
