I just completed this modification.
I purchased an HP C4385 printer (~$100) for the RV. This model fits in a cabinet, has a scanner so I can make photo copies and has wireless printing capability.
I stained a piece of pine and mounted it to a set of 20" full-extension drawer glides. I then mounted L brackets to the glides. To an existing shelf in the middle of the lower cabinet on the right of my fireplace, I added some narrow wood strips to space up my new sliding shelf so it would make it out over the horizontal stile on the face of the fixed shelf. Then I screwed the L brackets down to these narrow strips of wood.
I carefully ran 2 screws through the bottom front corners of the sliding shelf and up into the bottom corners of the printer to hold the printer in place.
I added a power strip in the back of the cabinet to power the printer. I removed the fireplace to feed the cord/plug from the power strip across the back of the inside of the cabinet space that contains the fireplace and out an existing grommet and into the cabinet on the left side of the fireplace where an electrical outlet exists for the fireplace. I replaced the single outlet to a duplex outlet.
I mounted the power supply for the printer to the back of the cabinet and fastened at the front of the cabinet, the power wire that feeds the printer.
I also coiled up and tied down a 15' USB cable in the event others need to print or when I do not have my mobile router in the trailer to print through.
