I'm looking to network my USB-based laser printer, and preferably wirelessly:

Printer<->USB connection<->802.11x Print Server<->Wireless connection<->Wireless Router<->Wireless connection<->Laptops

Any suggestions as to which particular dedicated make/model print server works well. I don't have any spare PC's to dedicate, so I'm looking for a small converter box to do the trick. Again, I'm only using a straight, vanilla laser printer - not any multi-function printer/copier/fax stuff, which should make it all pretty simple.

Budget =< $50. Any real-world experience is appreciated. TIA.

Apple Airport Express could have been a solution.
But unless you score a used one it will set you back $99.

Thanks for the Airport Xpress suggestions. I hadn't considered that.

It appears I would need to install Bonjour for Windows on every PC to make this work, though. I had hoped to simply utilize standard networking protocols & Windows OS hooks. Do other (non-Apple) wireless adapter "boxes" require software on top of the OS layer?

I'm using Vista64 on both my & my wife's laptops, btw.
