Connnecting my HP Laser Jet 5 printer to my wireless network?

I am looking for the cheapest way to connect my HP Laser Jet 5 printer to my wireless network. My printer only has the parallel printer port. I want to put my printer in a room seperate from my desktop computer and I don't want to have to run a wire from my router to my printer. Thats is why I want to be able to wirelessely connect my printer to my wireless network. THANKS A LOT!!!!!!

1. What you'll want to get is a parallel to wireless print server adapter. The printer server adapter will convert the parallel interface to a wireless capable network connection. Here's some links: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-print-server.htm http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=387&name=Network-Print-Servers http://www.google.com/products?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4HPIC_enUS309US255&q=print+server&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=yNzwSvndOJOANojmyIoH&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQrQQwAA Do a Google search for "parallel to wireless print server" to get an assortment of devices available.
2. Considering that the printer is going to be set up through a wireless printer configuration, it is important that the location of the printer is covered by the wireless network. In the same way that computers need to be in the radius of the wireless router, the printer should be in the same radius as those computers in that network. Essentially, wherever the Wi-Fi reaches, the printer can be placed there. However, it must be said that corners and spots with low-signals should be avoided to prevent printing issues and other problems.
