That's what I do! My router is wireless but without a USB printer port.
(There are wireless routers that have a USB port.)
My computers are a desktop and a laptop. I connect the printer to the
desktop and then run SAMBA to share the printer. I use SAMBA because
sometimes I get guests that need to connect Windows machines to my
network. (Yes I am VERY careful on who I let connect and share just
what is necessary such as the printer.)
