Default Dedicated mifi and wireless printer question

Ok so I was just about to pull the trigger on a dedicated notebook and mifi, with 3d mobile data sim for my ebay, paypal and amazon needs and suddenly had a thought.

My wireless HP officejet pro 8620 would need to be dedicated solely to that 3g network as well right? And that I would have to lose that printer from its day to day 'real life tasks' so to speak right?

Is there an obvious way I am not thinking about which would enable both networks to be used? Im thinking to see if I can get a wired connection to work for the ebay network and keep the wireless for my 'real life' network and computers, phoenes etc?

1 wired and 1 wireless. all good. been doing it like that for years. i actually use it for all of my MiFi's but then I have to connect to each one manually. but it still isn't a problem to just connect back and forth.

Out of curiosity why do you use several mifis over just using one and turning it on and off again when switching?

Also, so you have your normal life and computer/devices ran through your home network and you run your ebay mifi through your wired you mean, giving you access to both from the one printer?

i just have a lot of accounts and mifis are cheap. im on different networks for each one. and yes, all computers go through the same printer when printing labels, etc.
