setting up network

I am new to this, but I'd like to give it a go... I am able to set up a wireless network for my internet connection, but I'd like to wirelessly connect a printer to my network too. The printer will have to be in a different room from the router. Can any printer have a wireless network adapter connected to it? If not is there any way to get a printer onto the network wirelessly, or can I set up a second network somehow?

if you have a wireless compatiable printer then this is easy to do follow a wizard, click the buttons and done. On the other hand if its not you will need to buy a small switch and plug the network and computer into the swtich and also your wireless router. So they all connect to each other then install the printer as a network printer.
