Correct, short CAT5 cable from printer to wireless print server.

Best to put in a static IP into the machine, otherwise, you'd have to print to the hostname of the printer and have something doing local DNS to map it from the name to the ever-changing IP.

You shouldn't need to do anything at all with the router. Just make sure your IP for the printer is in the same range as the PC.

for example, the PC's IP is 192.168.1.1, you could make the printer 192.168.1.44

For small home networks, it's ok to make up an IP, I usually just put it somewhere in the 30-100 range so it'll never be in conflict with the rest of their devices.

Note: Making up your own IP is great when you are on a network with 2-4 devices. It's a horrible idea in a business environment or anyplace where they have 50-100 devices.
