Most other printers don't support sending printjobs to them wirelessly from Cura natively, but you could use OctoPrint (which could be installed on a Raspberry Pi small computer board) to send print jobs to other printers wirelessly. This works with most printers that can be controlled via a USB port (which does not include the Ultimaker 3 and newer; those printers only have a USB port that supports reading gcode files, not controlling the printer). There's a plugin in the Marketplace to tightly integrate OctoPrint into Cura (full disclosure: I wrote that plugin).
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for
Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3 Ultimaker 2+ Connect.
They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform. All you need to do to gain access is to register your product to gain free access.
