You need a wireless print server like: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120353 but they are not the best (some don't work with Vista).

you don't need a print server. Hook up the printer to a PC and then make a home network using my network places -> Set up home or small office -> follow steps. Install the printer on the machine it is connected to, go to control panel _> printers, right click on the printer and click share. Go to other PC, do the same, but don't hook up printer or right click, go to my network places, Workgroup computers, then double click on the printer and its done. Only issue is that the PC with the printer hooked up must be on for the other PC to print.
