Well my printer doesn't have wifi, but it does support 3 specific wifi dongles that give it wifi: you configure the dongle on the PC, then plug it into the printer. You might find a wireless ethernet bridge would be a better or worse solution than a wireless printer server. Again, a hint as to the printer model and vodafone gizmo would have helped. At least one of the Vodafone gizmos has a WPS button, so that might be a consideration when you choose an adapter. Finally, there might be a version of your printer that does support wifi, and you only need to install the card that converts your printer to the wifi-enabled equivalent. I'd probably simply get an old wifi router out of the bit box and configure it as a bridge.
