The easiest way to do this is to buy an old G3 or Powerbook, get a 
wireless card, and hook it directly to the printer with OSX 10.3. 
Then enable printer sharing. The advantage of a desktop is that you 
can get a 160gb hard drive (only $99 at Office Depot last week!) and 
use it for file sharing too.

Some bridges/routers come with printer ports, but they're  a bit 
unreliable in my experience.
