You don't need a printer cable because the print server plugs right into the printer. Then you just plug in the power cable and the LAN cable that is connected to the router. Very elegant.
Printer cables are expensive and are limited in how long they can be. When I first set this up I was using a 100 foot LAN cable and it worked just fine.
Also, since the printer is connected directly to the router rather than through one of the computers it is always available to whatever computer is connected. Before the printer was connected to one of the computers, and if that computer was down then none of the other computers could print.
