Default Wireless networked printer

Hello all,

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a cable modem in my
living room. An Xbox and Vonage adapter are connnected to the router via
ethernet cable.

In bedroom #1 is a PC (Win XP) connected to the router via AT&T wireless
adapter. In bedroom #2 is a laptop (Win XP Pro) connected to the router via
built in wireless card. Also, in bedroom #2 is a Brother MFC-3820cn printer.
It is not hooked up at this time and has never been installed as a printer
on either machine.

I want the printer to be a stand alone device on the network. ( Not hard
wired to a computer). The printer has an ethernet port that is available to
use. I also have a spare Linksys wireless router (WRT54G) that I am not
currently using. And a Linksys WUSB11 that is available to use. The WUSB11
has a USB connection.

What is the easiest/most cost-effective way for the both computers to share
this printer?

Thanks
Robin
