I have a printer with a USB cable connection but not "print from USB" (mem
fob) option. Is there a way to print from USB? Is there some cheap device
which would allow it?

So then it does NOT include a USB-A connector?

Your only choice is a PC (incl SBC such as a rpi) that you can plug your
USB-stick into.

Telling us what the printer is could help people to help you, maybe?

Canon Pixma

But that's not the point.
Some printers have a "print from USB" option.
Essentially there is a computer which read your USB fob and prints.
Can this be added?

Raspberry Pi, laptop, tablet, etc. that has a USB port for your USB
