Yes if I understood it correctly you connect the printer to the print server.
Heres the manual incase you need it
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Printserver/dpr1260/Manual/dpr1260_manual_112.zip
the installation steps are documented there.
Il write them up for you anyway.
1. Confirm proper operation of your printer before connecting the DPR-1260.
2. When you have confirmed proper operation of your USB printer, turn your printer power OFF.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Connect the DPR-1260 to your network, using a straight-through CAT5 cable. It is required that an Ethernet cable is used during initial setup. Once your wireless configuration is set, you may disconnect the Ethernet cable and begin communicating wirelessly with your DPR-1260.
5. While the printer is powered OFF, use the USB printer cable to connect the DPR-1260 to your USB printer.
6. Switch ON your USB printer.
7. Plug the DC power adapter into the DC 5V power socket on the rear panel of the Print Server.
8. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the DPR-1260, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the Print Server’s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server’s
Self-Test will proceed.
it will work fine,, if you just follow the instructions in the manual. do you have a hard copy handy?

I'm mostly a computer novice, but won't I need a ethernet cable between server and router at least during the install time?
