have you already got a wireless router?
if not get a wireless printer server
or share it via a pc, but that will need to be on for others to use it.

You have various options depending upon what your existing setup is. The options are listed in decreasing order of preference.

1. Printer with built-in wifi printserver
2. Wifi router with built in print server (eg. Apple extreme base station)
3. Network HDD with print server (eg. icybox)
4. Wifi router + wifi print server
5. wifi router + pc (with shared printer) - your pc will need to be powered up constantly for the duration of sharing the printer.
