Really? I looked everywhere but couldn't find one - do you have a model
number for such a device?

Thanks again

Double socket or daisychain adapters. As long as the total at the
wallsocket doesn't exceed 13 amps then you'll be OK.

Why do you want one - most machines have a paralell port on them, and
you waste a USB socket by doing this. Note if the router comes with a
USB print server in it, putting the USB to paralell adaptor in it
won't work.

If you have wireless another option is to move the printer and put a
wireless print server on it.

Thanks.
Andrew.
