Hello

I have HP D2568 printer. Is it possible to connect it to my TP-Link router (WR741N) over wired LAN using USB-to-Ethernet cable ?

If yes, what steps exactly I need to follow ?
 
It can't be done directly. You will need a pc running windows or Linux with a USB port to share the printer over LAN. Something like a pogoplug or r-pi would do too. Setting it up would be your headache though.

Right now I m able to use it in similar fashion. My Desktop & Laptop are connected on my router and printer is connected to Desktop. This way I can print from laptop.

I was looking to make it set such a way that I can use it directly without need of any computer.

Thanks for the reply though, it helps :)
