Need recommendation on a print server

I'm looking for a way to share a standalone printer that is currently connected to my wife's Mac. We have 2 Android smart phones and 2 Android tablets which need access to that printer.

We don't have a router but I always run my Samsung S5 as a hotspot for Internet connection, all of the devices run through that hot spot, even my Chromecast.

I'm guessing a WiFi print server is what I'm looking for? Something that will automatically attach to my hot spot when active and allow all devices to print to it.

Can anyone recommend one for me?

How do the Android devices get the proper drivers for the printer?

Thanks

The newer printers with built in WiFi will work as a print server. We have one at our house and it prints from all devices at the house. Three computers, three cell phones, two iPads. Only problem we have with the printer is it run out of paper and ink a lot but that probably because it gets use a lot. ๐Ÿ™‚
