That's a great idea and if it works, great. I managed this through a server so all computers in the office have access to the printer. I could get the server to spool it and then test each computer to see if it could print and they did. The next day I could not print from any computer. To make it work I need to physically connect the printer to the server and then reconnect it via the USB server once I can print directly to it. At the time it seemed to work. After restarting the server, I could no longer print. I've tried the same process again with no success. I couldn't get it to work again. I didn't have time to play around with it, so I moved the printer around so I could connect to one of the office PCs and then share it from there.
