We've been talking about a wireless connection up to now but you say "G5 box is not presently connected to the network, but that can be changed".
Is the building Cat5 wired? If so, without connecting the G5 to the network you could still extend the USB connection over Cat5.
Search the web for "USB extender". There are products like the one I've attached, see pdf. (and sorry for the advertisement guys - provided as an example only).
With a product like this you can extend your USB cable over a Cat5 cable by tapping into a RJ45 wall point near your G5, and onward connecting the cable from the wiring closet, to another wall point near the printer.
I don't know of any USB over wifi extenders but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.
