Is it possible to make the Wi-Fi network only process the print server?

I hope I wrote the question correctly, but for clarity I will explain the situation.
At the moment there are 7 computers, the number of which will increase in a few months and each wi-fi adapter + wired internet (BUT NOT ALL), there is also a high-performance printer that has only a standard usb, there is also wi-fi.
At the moment, the situation is this - all computers are combined via wi-fi into a home group, a printer is connected to one of the computers, printing occurs via wi-fi. Here are the crutches.
The essence of the problem is that often there is a disconnection from the Internet, access to the Internet becomes impossible, the IT department says that this is due to Wi-Fi adapters and they need to be removed, but then there will be a need for more printers.
The question is, is it possible to make sure that the wi-fi network is used exclusively for connecting computers - a printer? In order for the problem with cutting down from the Internet to come to naught, otherwise it is impossible to work.
Oh, I hope I wrote more or less clear. I would be very grateful for your help!

There are two options here. As DevMan has already unsubscribed , you can buy a gadget called a print server. It clings to the local network with a network cable, and the printer is connected to it via USB.
The second option is cheaper, but less fault-tolerant. The printer is connected via USB to one computer and shared with the entire department. This computer becomes a print server.
While I was typing, I came up with a third option. Wi-Fi hotspot in this office. Then the computers will not need Wi-Fi adapters.
