imageCLASS D570 - Internet Connection Required to update driver on a non-wifi enabled printer?

[Kat27]

Trying to update the driver for my Canon imageClass 570 and it appears my choices are to use wifi or a USB to USB cord. The printer is not wifi enabled, it is hooked to my computer with an ethernet cord (?) but that is apparently not enough to get the downloaded driver on to the printer. My magic box of cords does not have a USB to USB cord so I'm hoping there is a way and I'm just missing it.

Why would wifi be required to update a non-wifi enable device?
