Wireless connection to printer

I need to connect old PPC G5 running OSX 10.5.8 to Epson Stylus 1400 printer, wiring is very difficult, so I need to find out what are my wireless options. Printer has only USB input. The printing includes graphics and text from Adobe as well as a special graphics application, which is the reason for me to stay on PPC. G5 box is not presently connected to the network, but that can be changed.

I checked on Bluetooth options and saw Epson dongle but its compatibility is limited to RX line of printers.

Please let me know what are the ways to print on that 1400 printer wirelessly.

Note to moderators - please move my thread to a better place if this one is not appropriate.

Thanks in advance.
