Re: Adding a wireless printer
Presumably the setup software asked you about stuff like SSID & wireless password and maybe gateway address?

If these have been set in the printer then once it's plugged into the router it should get an IP address from the router. Try logging into the router's control panel and checking connected devices. With luck you'll see the printer as a new device and can get it's IP address from the router. Once you get that far it's possible to manually create a TCP/IP port on the pc or laptop which will enable the printer.
