Make a Wired Network Printer Wireless

[ktz84]

I have a dell 1700n network printer (it has an ethernet port on the back). I haven't used the wired function basically because I only had one pc so I just connected it usb however now there are couple of using laptops it would be handy to print from laptops.

Firstly I would need to make the printer wireless as I can't cable it as the location of the router and the printer are too far away and it would become unsightly to route the cable round the house and

Secondly I then need to be able to print from the laptops without connecting physcially to the printer.

Can I use any ethernet based wireless bridge/adapter/games adapter or are there certain things I need to look out for.

Any recommendations though I realise that will not be possible if they are not sold on overclockers who I'm happy to use if they sell what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Should have clarified a bit more. The main pc is getting booted out and we are just going to use our laptops that's why I'm looking for this wireless setup so connecting via the main pc will not be an option and neither will be sharing the conenction from any of the laptops as we want the freedom that a laptop brings and not be stuck to a particular desk or go running every time we wan to print something.

So looks like I need a ethernet connected print server then?
