I have an old USB laser printer that used to have an rpi print server to make it 'networked'. Then I installed an apple airport extreme next to it, and figured I could use the USB port on the airport to network it instead. Which it does, but this only effectively makes it USB-over-IP, which works fine for Windows machines, but most 'modern' devices (phones, tablets, chromebooks) can't talk to it for lack of driver interface. So now the house main RPi server (in another part of the house) acts as a print server (CUPS, mDNS, etc) and flings those packets up to the airport, which sends them to the printer. But works pretty well, despite the seemingly needless complexity.
