Need help choosing / setting up a laptop with a wireless printer

Hi
I want to help a friend choose a system but I have little
experience with laptops & none with wireless printers.

Needs
A decent budget laptop ( WinXP 512mb, CD burner, )
wireless printer stuff ( I don't know anything about this )
printer ( that can use cheaper generic ink )

This is a Home system that will see occasional use.

What do I need to look for in a laptop so that it can be linked
to a wireless printer.

I have seen wireless adapters, network printers ,bluetooth etc.
Don't need anything elaborate. Just a small printer
on the table with the laptop in a drawer until needed
with no wires.

Any recommendation of components "brands or models"
Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks n advance !..........Rick
 
Any decent laptop that has built in Wi-Fi can link to a printer that has Wi-Fi.

Example: The HP dv1000 laptop and the HP 6980 printer. No wires needed. They mate nicely.
