Wireless printing

So I'll be getting an imac g5 and apple offered me an epson c86 inkjet printer, the problem is I can't fit the printer on my ridiculously small desk AND my imac at the same time. I'll have an airport wireless network with my pc but the pc is in another room with the airport base station, so basically that's not an option either.

I've looked around and have been considering using the Ambicom wireless usb adapters, but their list doesn't list the epson c86 as being compatible, so I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with Ambicom and the c86 or has the c86 and uses something else (I assume this is possible, since this is the printer apple gives for free). I know that the website says that the list isn't a complete one, but I'd like to be more sure before I shell out 70USD for it.
 
Even though that particular Epson is not listed, there are others very close in number that are listed. Incidentally, the manufacturer I used is Anycom.
I have used their bluetooth adapter for my Mac G4 12" 1.33 to print on my Canon BJC-85 printer and it works like a charm.
 
if you have the printer connected to another mac on your wireless network, you can simply set that computer as a Print Server in System Prefs/Sharing. Though you said the other computer is a PC?
