No need for a print server or expensive options.

I just found a Lexmark WiFi printer at the Source selling for like $30 on sale and left that in the corner of my house. It sits on standby/off mode most of the time and has WiFi built in and all computers can just hit print normally (don't need to browse for network printer or have network printers mysteriously disappear on you) and it goes to it automatically and it turns itself on and prints your job. It was the lazy man's out because trying to deal with network printers connected to computers that need to be on to work was just too annoying and iffy.
