A daft idea about using a printerserver to import video . . .

You can only assign IP addresses to devices that understand Internet  
Protocol, i.e computers and network-aware devices such as network  
printers, network scanners and NAS boxes. All those things that have  
ethernet ports...

Any peripheral that is plugged into a USB port is pretty much by  
definition not network-aware.
