Witric Power - Witricity Explained

We have a massively wired house (pre-wireless!) with a patch panel where the cable internet connection comes in, connected to the router and the cable modem. Desktop computer is in another room, connected to the wall. We have a non-networked local (USB) laser printer connected to the desktop computer and keep the desktop computer on all the time so we can print with our 2 wireless laptops. We use all three computers regularly.

We bought a new scanner/fax/printer that has a wireless connection and is currently connected via USB to the desktop computer. We only have one drop in the room we have it in, and want to use that drop for the phone instead so we can fax.

What piece of equipment do we need to purchase (and how much?) to be able to put the desktop computer into sleep mode (to save energy) and still be able to print to the new wireless printer/scanner? I'm imagining a wireless hub??? Witricity: a witric one!
