What's the smallest wireless bridge I can get?

I've got a printer that only has an ethernet socket in it. The problem is I want to put it in a place in the house where there's no way of getting an ethernet cable to it. A wireless bridge would seem to be the best solution, but all the ones I've seen are relatively chunky.

Does a tiny wired->wireless bridge exist?

The Linksys WPS54G looks quite small?

That looks like an actual print server rather than just a bridge. Would I have to connect to the printer to that via USB?

I think so, yeah. I'm sure you could get one that allows you to use it via ethernet as well. Print servers tend to be quite small, which is what I thought was important

Oh absolutely, I just didn't want to lose the quite nice web-interface of the printer.

Someone must have built a little plugin single ethernet -> wireless device, no?
