does my MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 have built in wireless router?

I'm low tech. I'm trying to setup a new wireless printer. Never had one before.

I'm using an ethernet cable to connect to Century Link for my ISP.

The printer is setup, and its blue signal light is on.

Does my MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 have built in wireless router, or do I

need to buy one? I thought all Pros had built in Airports? Tks - Greg

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

You can start Internet Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences; if you use the Mac as a router, it'll need to be on and awake for the devices connected to it to access the network.
