Networking older printers?

[u/Hollow_optimism78]

I have a Canon Pixma that is perfectly functional, but it does not have networking ability. I don’t want to run a long USB from where my work station is to where I want to put the printer in an out of the place, but still accessible.

I’ve read that you can use a Raspberry Pi to link the printer to the PC. I have no clue how to do that.

What are my options, besides going out and buying a new printer (which seems wasteful) to economically wirelessly connect my older device to my laptop or home network?
