Serial printers are kind of rare, and usually are just label makers. The 2100 looks to me like a pretty standard printer, so you probably want a Wireless print server with a Parallel port connection. These are certainly available, but they cost around $80 new from what I've seen. You can find them used on sites like eBay for $25 +shipping. Check out the D-Link DP-311P, the TrendNet TEW-P1PG Wireless Parallel Print Server, or the CP Technologies WPS-9121. If you mean that you already have a Wireless Print Server, but you want to somehow connect your old printer to the USB connection, you might have luck using a USB to Parallel port cable, though I'm not sure if those have compatibility with print servers.
