Stand alone wireless print servers are (IMHO) one of the great rip-offs.

I got a Hawking brand wired print server from Fry's for $50, wired it to 
a spare port on the router and installed the software on my laptop.

If you have any desktops on your home network, hook the printer to it 
and share if from that system.
