Keith, No, your printer if it is either physically using ether net, or wirelessly using WiFi connected to your network stays as it is. You do not connect the X-Print Server to your printer at all… You only connect a USB printer to the X-Print Server, not a network enabled one.
You would connect the single ether net socket on the X-Print Server to your router, the iOS device prints to the X-Print Server, which appears to your device as the name of your printer. The X-Print Server pushes the print job then over the network to the printer itself. does that make sense?
