Their sales oriented operation is mostly take-away laptops, but they
want the printing to come into the office during their absence but
don't see the need to have a server to service just the printer.

Well, if your printer has its own Ethernet card and an IP address
you can just set things up to go directly to it with no server.

Or, what is that router? If it is something like a FreeBSD box or
other more full service system, it can probably handle the task of
serving the printer as well.
