I plan on buying the new imac, but i have a silly question.

off the apple website:

Communications
Built-in AirPort Extreme wireless networking (802.11n)
Built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) module
Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45 connector)
Works with 56K V.92 Apple USB Modem (sold separately)

So I assume, if i had a wireless router, that it would connect to the internet wirelessly. However, i have a nice wireless wifi printer. Will this imac print to the wireless printer, or will i need to purchase a wireless router?

Usually wifi printers are intended to join wifi networks, from which you can print to them. But the printer may support an ad-hoc (peer to peer) network.
Anyway, it depends on driver support.
