Wireless printer server

[Graham Street]

I have a mono laser printer (Lexmark) that can be ethernet or USB attached. Its currently using one of the ethernet ports on my router.

Due to a house move, its unlikely that the printer will be close enough to the router (not in the same room) to be able to continue to do this. It would appear that a wireless printer server is the solution. Does anyone agree, or used one, and do you know of an alternative inexpensive solution? With my current research, it looks like it will be more cost-effective to replace the printer with a wireless mono laser.

Thanks, Graham

Can you not use a wireless extender that has an Ethernet socket to connect the printer? Would be a cheaper alternative if you prefer the Lexmark printer. 

Regards,

Tony

Thanks. Yes, its another option to consider.
We use a mains extender already (for the TV), so we can try this first. If it works, swap it out for a wireless one.
