Either connet the printer to a wireless router or if your laptop is Bluetooth enabled then get a bluetooth adapter for the printer.
You cannot do either of these with just any router or printer. The least expensive solution is to buy a wireless router with a print server integrated in it. This is a good choice :
Linksys WIRELESS G PRINT SERVER FOR USB 2.0 802. 11G
(MPN: WPS54GU2)

In order to do this you would need a printer hooked up to the network, or shared on a computer that is on the network. Install the printer to your computer just like you would install a normal printer but instead when it ask locally or network click network, and browse to where the network printer or the shared printer is on the network, you may need the printer install disk, if everything installs ok then its installed. You can get a normal printer turned into a network printer by buying a printer server, its a little device that hooks up to your network and the printer plugs into it and then everyone on the network can use it, helpfull when the shared printer's computer is turned off all the time. If you need more detailed answer, ask a more detailed question or do a search for install network printer
