For printers with an Ethernet port:
You can turn your wired Ethernet printer into a wireless printer by attaching a wireless bridge or wireless adapter that's compatible with the printer. One wireless adapter I've had a lot of success with on Ricoh printers is the Netgear WNCE2001 N300 Universal Wi-Fi to Ethernet Adapter. Setup is fairly easy and the adapter functions well. Once you've installed the adapter, your printer is effectively now a wireless printer.
For printers with a USB port:
You can make your USB printer work on a wireless network by attaching it to a wireless print server, such as the TP-Link TL-WPS510U 150Mbps Wireless Print Server. Initially there is some setup involved to change your print drivers and install the print server, but once you've done that it's ready to go and you can print over your wireless network.
