wireless printing

I am going to buy a new inspiron 9300 or 6000 with a intel pro/wireless 2915 internal wireless (802.11 a/b/g, 54 Mbps)
What else do I need to buy to print wireless to 2 printers?

    What would you like your setup to be? There are wireless print servers, wired print servers, and wireless printer adapters. The most common solutions are print servers.

    A print server allows you to connect multiple printers to your network. Your printers must be physically located in close proximity to your print server in this case. A wired print server is cheap but needs to be connected to your wireless router/hub. A wireless print server will communicates with your computer directly but is somewhat pricy.

    If you put your pinters in different rooms, then you may want a wireless adapter or print server for each printer.

    thanks,
    will probably go with a belkin wireless print server f1up0001. it has 2 usb ports, & will support 2 usb printers. cost is a little over $100.
