Cheapest way to print wireless?

I have a wireless laptop but no means of printing from it. It is getting quite annoying having to go round to my mums to print things, so i thought i would get a printer. I wanted the printer to sit in another room and be able to just press print.
What would be the cheapest way of doing this please?
I do not have another p.c so am unable to route it through that way??
Perhaps something bluetooth so that i could then print my pictures off my phone would be handy also?
Thanks

If you are buying a printer anyway, you could get one with wireless built-in.. e.g.

If you have a wireless router (i take it you have one of these to connect to the internet wirelessly) and it has spare network ports on it (most do) then you could attach your printer to it with a network cable - e.g. if you get a printer with a built in network card such as the HP Photosmart 8450
