Wireless help required

Hi I am a newbie and I need some expert help.
I have to set up a network in a shop to send data from a laptop to a wireless printer.
Problems is there is no internet connection so I cannot use a router.
Can anyone out there suggest a solution.
The laptop is running XP so a USB solution could be the order of the day but I would appreciate any suggestions/help that I can get.
Distance from laptop to printer is 16 metres and the printer has a USB port available.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks

you don't need the internet to use a wireless router, you need a wireless router to use the internet. a wireless router will work fine.

i agree you dont need an internet connection to setup a wireless network. a wireless router will do and all you need to do is create a workgroup.
