OT: Is it possible to make a printer wireless?

[JD Austin]

I like the Netgear WNCE2001 devices to make a device with a Ethernet port a
wireless device.
Printer -> USB Ethernet Print server -> WNCE2001

The cool thing about the WNCE2001 devices is that once you configure them
you can plug them into a switch and then plug other things into the switch
to give connectivity to multiple devices.
