What's the best way to set up a networked printer on a wireless network so someone with a laptop could print to it as easily as possible? I'll probably need to be getting a wireless print server for the printer.

If you can place the printer in the vicinity of the Wireless Router, you do not need a Wireless Printer server. Your are better of using a wired Printer server plugged directly to the router. Less expensive, less functional trouble You do not need a Wireless Printer server.

Otherwise, you do need Wireless Printer server.

easiest way (imho) is to setup a print server, so that they don't need to worry about drivers, and put a sign on it..."to pring, click "start", go to "run", type in "\\printer\printer" and click ok" or something like that. even with a wireless print server, they have to download drivers.
