    router is linksys e2000.
    got my laptop connected on it, no problem.

    bought a HP D110a printer and set it up using WPS. it says on its screen thats its connected to the router too. ran a wireless network test report and it says all connections are ok.

    ran the installation CD that came with the printer and it cant complete the installation, it says it cant find the printer.

    whenever i try to print something the print job always fails. tried calling HP printer tech support, and after 3 hours, they were no help. got fed up and told them to call me back the next day...they never did. LOL

    it seems like the router isnt connecting the two together.
    any ideas?

    thanks

    On the printer look a the network properties and see if they are correct. If the printer is going to sleep to save energy, my try disabling. Are you adding the printer as a network printer or local? I set printer up with static IP's so they don't move around.
