I dunno if any of the wireless print servers will do AdHoc networking,
but that sounds like what you want, at least till we get to:

The only device I know of currently that does Modem->WiFi is the
http://www.wiflyer.com/ (website is down at the moment) aka
http://alwaysonwireless.com/

I've got one that I'm still fiddling with, haven't actually set it up
and configured it yet, but it seems to have everything I want. You'd
need to add a WiFi print server to it, or connect an Ethernet print
server via cable...

You'll need a wireless access point & a wireless bridge / print server -
belkin or netgear make decent enough ones. Install the printer drivers
on your PC with the printer directly connected to the PC. If all works
OK, connect the printer to the bridge / print server, connect the print
server to the Access point (I.E. bridge this connection) you should
(hopefully) then be able to print wirelessly. I have exactly this setup
at home, with 4 PCs sharing 2 printers (located in the garage).

Hope this Helps
