Yes they do exist. How do you want to connect it? WiFi or Infra red?

Connect a normal inkjet/bubblejet to a wireless print server.

Or... you can use bluetooth. Buy a bluetooth dongle that plugs into your existing printer's USB or parallel port. Usually requires requires its own power supply (included) but seems to me the least hassle and cost option. Unless you happen to be buying a new printer anyway.

Looked into this a while ago but never got around to sorted it out.

Decided the easiest option would be a Linksys wireless print server as it means you can upgrade your printer at any point.

Surely bluetooth is cheaper?
