Printing to Dell Laser 1320C Wirelessly with Linksys Ethernet Bridge?

Backstory...
Having great success and printing beautifuly with a network enabled Dell Laser Printer 1320c hardwired with ethernet to my Mac Mini through a Belkin wireless router using one of the ethernet ports on back of the Belkin router (but its waaaayyy across the room hence a very long ethernet cable, but, still, ok...

I have various old macs, one old grape iMac (pre airport iMac) which is currently wirelessly connected to the network using a Linksys Ethernet Bridge, cool, works great. The question is, can I use the aforementioned Linksys on the Dell Laser Printer thus making it wireless and thereby eliminating the ethernet wire to the printer? You know, like that wireless printing thingy thats all the rage? I don't want to use the grape iMac as some sort of print sharing computer cause I don't want to leave that thing running all of the time. so is this even possible? anyone done something like this? many thanx...

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

Could you please share your methods for getting the 1320c to work with OSX? The farthest I ever got was a print job being sent to the printer, but a manual feed being required for each and every page in the job.

The only way I've tried it is with the 1320c shared from my XP Pro desktop (connected to the pc via USB). I've held off on buying the network attachment for the 1320c until I have a good reason...does OSX printing work when the printer is networked? What about the lack of any OSX drivers at all from Dell?

Thanks for your help.
