I'd like to move a printer to a closet and get it out of the way.


Well, the simplest way is to put it on a computer with a printer port

The most simple way is to buy a wireless or ethernet print server ($40 to
$100 or so), and send the print jobs to it's address. There are other
similar options that also don't require the printer to be connected to a
computer.
