Did you consider using wireless single port print servers? TP-Link and Startech among others have models. If a network is required an inexpensive WiFi router could provide local access.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

TBH you can get old OEM PCs way cheaper on facebook or craigslist than eBay if they aren't too far out f the way.聽 Sand, Ivy, or Haswell systems can regularly be had for under $50.聽 Though, for win11 Haswell is gonna be easiest for fTPM.聽 Sandy or Ivy will need a TPMcheck skip, which is actually really easy but might subvert organizational security stuff.聽

I edit the shit out of my posts.聽 Refresh before you respond.
