Wireless Printer....communication problems...please help!!

localboy

I have just bought a Dell v305 wireless printer, I have followed all the instructions and now the printer is connected to my network with a good signal strength but when I go to print anything (wirelessly) from my laptop (which is the laptop I used to install printer) it comes up with an error message saying the pc cant communicate with the printer!!??

I have reset the printer and un/re-installed the drivers etc but it is still the same, Im sure it must be something simple but I cant find it!

Can anybody please help??

Not mush to go on there,can i ask a bit more?
1 how do you know printer is connected?
2 is your wifi network secured?
3. is there any test routine during install on PC?
Other than that i can only suggest uninstall and reinstall watching for a box to offer you the option of installing a local or network printer, select network one. after install make sure printer is on and reboot pc, try a test print

Are you sure that you're printing to the right printer queue?

Could you have the same printer configured twice, wireless and USB (if you had to connect it by cable to configure it) and USB is the default?
