Ask HN: Would you use a USB-to-WiFi print server for old printers?

A developer is considering a crowdfunding campaign for a device that converts old USB printers into Wi-Fi printers. It would allow printing and scanning without drivers across various operating systems. The device is aimed at users who want to utilize older, sturdier printers that are often more cost-effective. The price is estimated to be around $45-60. Would you find such a device useful? Would you or someone you know be interested in purchasing it?
