USB Ethernet USB

I have a USB Connected Printer which I want to site about 10m away from my PC, but the limit for USB is about 5M. Can I use those USB/Ethernet dongles at either end to increase the length of the cable run?

I guess the PC end will see the connection ok but will the printer be able to work it out?

Thank you for any thoughts

Cheers

Hi, I would just use a usb hub in the middle, the usb/ethernet adapters may not allow the pc to see the printer properly.
