printer

I have an old Epson printer that does not have network adapter, only a USB socket. I have also a computer with network card. I could combine them to put this printer in my local network, but then I would need to keep the computer always up and running. That's definitely not economic.

Is there a way to wake up computer when printing request arrives? Something like Wake-on-LAN?

Or I am forced to use additional hardware?
