No it doesn't have anything to do with it. If you have a wireless priner, you connect that up to your router.
Even if your PC is wired to the router, it will still see the wireless printer once it has been connected to the router.
It becomes part of the network that your router has created. Any device that connects to your router can 'see' any other device on it*
*In most circumstances
Either check the manual or google "printer model + connect to wireless router"

Yep, exactly as above.
On your printer, there will be a menu to scan for wifi networks, connect to yours, put your wifi key in and it should connect. Exactly as you would with a laptop, phone or other wireless device.
Then, from your PC, as long as it's connected to the network (in whatever way with whatever wireless), then you should be able to see your printer. It'll probably be easiest to just install your printer using the software that came with it as that should find it on the network for you.
