Re: Windows 10 Desktop WiFi

The short answer is no. I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to achieve or what your current setup is and I have never heard of ethernet USB, they are mutually exclusive types of connectivity, so let me explain things in a more broader sense. Your PC can only be connected to one network at a time and only have one IP address. There are multiple ways of connecting to a network and there are different adaptors so your PC applies metrics to each interface (gives them a score) and the best one wins. As an example, if you were connected to your home network using wifi and then you connected the device (e.g. laptop) to the network using an ethernet cable you would see the laptop drop the wifi connection, switch to the wired connection and get a new IP address.
Generally speaking for you, you should try and keep things as simple as possible and not get your connection settings mixed up. Unless your printer is in the same room as the PC and the PC is the only machine that is going to use it, forget USB, enable wifi and connect the printer to the network. If all of your devices are networked you will find it a lot easier to use them and manage them through the same network settings and options.
