Wireless Printing

No, you'd need one of those and an 802.11G wireless print server such as this this one. Even if you could successfully plug in one of those to the printer, the printer wouldn't know what's plugged in and how to use it, with no drivers able to be installed.
 
Oh, I figured it would recognize it as a generic thing, learn something everyday. Umm, how would I go about hooking this up?
 
To set up a printer server, there are always near-foolproof manuals to help you. The one for the product I linked above is here. Yes you'd need some sort of wireless adapter on each of the computers you wish to wirelessly print from, and each pc would need to have had the drivers for the printer itself successfully installed on it.

I haven't used a print server before, but I believe they must be added to an existing wireless network, i.e. you would need to create a network between your two pc's, and then allow the print server to connect to that. I'm not 100% on that, perhaps someone else can clarify. One thing to mention is to make sure you encrypt your network when it's set up, to protect yourself from theft of identity or theft of internet.
