Printer / Copier wifi - 2nd party?

If they have Ethernet then you can use a bridge (if you have an old router lying around some of those can be used as bridges); if not you're into a print server (again some routers have print server functionality via their USB port(s)). The problem with USB print servers is they aren't always compatible with every device. A lot of "GDI" printers don't work correctly on these, or there can be driver quirks which prevent these or other printers from working properly. But, you're free to try it out. If you have to buy a print server device, I'd recommend buying from Best Buy or somewhere similar where you can return w/o restocking fees or hassles, in case it doesn't work out. Also sometimes you'll be able to get printing working but not scanning and other functions. It all depends, but you'll have to try it out and see.

Turn a RasPi into a print server.
Or buy a straight print server but some of them are kind of wonky.

If you're going to invest any money into these relics, then you're better off buying a new printer

USB based is a relic?
I mean... I still have Parallel printers I use frequently.
There's nothing wrong with them.

I invested a parrellel to usb cable. lots of use of the printer still (got an old one from the 'dump') still works great (had lots of paper jams in the beginning but fixed that). cheap toner too.

I like this idea as well ..... instead of spending money on WiFi print server ....

You can get a Canon MG2929 on sale today at Best Buy for $39.99. It is a color printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine. That would be less than replacing the ink cartridges in your existing inkjet (if that's what you have now).

You can get a Brother monochrome laser all-in-one for $99.99.

Although these are both low end devices, the print quality is probably still better than what you have now.

Raspberry pi printer server is your solution I guess.

Using an old computer as a print server is going to overkill/waste of electricity.
