Yes probably.
However, there's probably some more logical ways of connecting your desktop to your printer.
1. Does your printer have an ethernet port? If so, use this to connect to your switch or desktop NIC directly.
2. Does your desktop have a wireless card? Use this and connect to your printer.
3. If not 1 or 2, setup a wireless access point or get a wireless router with some ethernet ports. You'll easily be able to connect all your devices this way.
