Because we assumed that you did not have such a garbage device :-P  :-D

When I created a 4G connection to my old beach place, I discarded the 
offering of a MiFi device (gratis) by the ISP, and instead bought myself 
a router, in which I plugged in the SIM card. It gave me 4 Ethernet 
ports, WiFi, and good stability of the connection.

I connected both the desktop computer and the printer to that router by 
short cables. Laptops and phones (with no limit of connections) used the 
WiFi.
