hp printer as a wireless connection?

i have a hp photosmart printer with blootooth and wifi. its connected to my computer through my ethernet cord cause i can't find my usb cord. i have no router just two ethernet slots on my computer. is there a way i can use the wifi from the printer as a regular wifi connection on my computer with the ethernet cord still connected. make the computer seem as if i have a wifi card when really i don't. so i would have three connections: 1.local area network (internet) 2.local area network 2 (printer) 3.Wireless area network (using the printer's wifi to act as a regular wifi card) i hope i explained what i want to do well enough.

1. probably not, the printer does not have the drivers necessary to reroute to the LAN connection it can't retransmit the data it receives. it just sends a receipt to the computer saying it got the data not what the data was.
