I'm no expert in this area, but you have a couple of options
1) Standard wireless print server kits---which will run you $400-500
2) Wireless printing via Bluetooth technology(which would have to be installed on your computer)---These run $50-75.
3) You could put a wireless router on your dsl\cable, and then connect a wireless access point to the printer----The two routers would probably run you $100-150. It sounds like your computer\laptop is already wireless, so all you'd need is an access point for the printer($60)

Really computer challenged:
What does "need is an access point for the printer" mean ??
Thanks
If you have your wireless network all setup, you should just need a wireless bridge.
There are plenty of printer bridges out there.
You can also get a wireless print server.
Here is the netgear product:

I think this is the linksys product:

I personally have no experience with them, but I am planning on hooking my printer up to my wireless network in the near future. If I get around to it soon I'll post any tips.
You could also just hook up a computer that is hooked up to your wireless network to the printer and share the printer through that computer. You would have to keep that computer on all the time though.
