What's the least expensive way to fire this flash off camera wireless? I'm using a K200D.

The least expensive way in terms of money, effort, and frustration, is an flash trigger that uses RF. I have a few sets of Yongnuo RF-602 that I find reliable. But there must be newer and probably better models now.

If you want to use the built-in flash to trigger the remote flash with optical slave, you'll need to find an optical slave that can ignore the preflash strobe. I don't use optical slave any more.
