Hmmm, maybe this ...

And I'd put the printer on the bottom shelf.  I just measured and it's
under 24" high, and that cart looks like it has enough space between the
top and bottom shelf.  Furthermore, the 30" length means I can pull out
the printer tray and load it -- an important consideration.

Although 16" wide might not be enough.  I just got this from the
specifications:
  16.5" x 21" x 16.7"

So, something around 20" wide, 30" long (so I can pull out the tray)
that has at least a 24" clearing between the bottom-most and the next,
is what I'm looking for.

I like the steel cart suggestion.  Although a hard plastic might be
safer since it's going near my living area.
