How to set up a wi-fi printer for the entire office?

There is an Internet provider that provided the office with an LTE + WIFI router. All computers are connected to the router via a WIFI adapter. Most of the computers are connected to one network, through the same WIFI router. Computers connected to the network have access to a printer connected to one of the computers via USB.
The task is to change the printer to the one with WIFI connection in order to move it to another part of the office where access to it is convenient for everyone.
The provider cannot give information whether the printer connected to their router will work and offers to configure at your own peril and risk.
Personally, I came up with the option of connecting a WIFI printer to the same computer, but the question arose whether the WIFI adapter and printer would cause conflicts, whether the computer would fall out of the network, and whether workers would be able to access the printer as easily as now.

Yes. If you have a local network working, at least at a primitive level, the printer will be just another device in it.
Specific settings depend on the network topology.

connect WIFI printer to the same computer
No. Connect the printer to a Wi-Fi access point.
