I would use a wireless print server in a situation where the printer was
in a location where a cable couldn't be connected to it from the router
to the printer.

I'll assume the router is a wire/wireless AP router. The printer can be
placed near the router and you can plug a wire print server into a LAN
port in the router using a regular cable. Both wire and wireless
machines can print to the printer using the wire print server connected
to the router.

The printer is part of the network at that point. There is no need for a
complicated wireless print server if you're thinking that it has to be
wireless, because you're using what I'll assume is a common
wire/wireless AP router and all the machines are wireless.

The wireless computers using the wireless side of the router can print
to the wire print server connected to the router.

You may want to find one that has features that work with the printer
you're using (Google), but print servers usually work with all printers.
