Longer, but not long enough.

Not a very detailed description of anything. Does this (unspecified)
"a laser printer" have an Ethernet port, or only a USB connection?

Whether that's possible may depend on the printer capabilities. Some
printers, for example, expect to be connected to a Windows system (which
does most of the rendering work). Such a printer won't work with a
simple print server.

Adapting a non-wireless device to a wireless network is a job for a
wireless bridge, not a WAP. Some Netgear routers can do that, and there
are probably many other, simpler such devices, but I don't see anything
in the D6200 User Manual which suggests that it has such an option/mode.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "bridge". Repeat
for, say, the R7000. In whose User Manual, look for "Set Up the Router
in Bridge Mode".
If your (unspecified) "a laser printer" has only a USB connection,
and it's situated near a wireless laptop, then you might have more
success more easily if you connect the printer to a laptop, and let that
laptop act as a print server. (What's the OS on these "a couple
laptops"?)
