Wireless printer - WLAN disconnected?

Hi
I have an Epson SX515W which I am trying to connected to my wireless network. Im using Windows 7 on my laptop (incase that makes a difference?)
When I put the info into the printer manually, it comes up saying 'WLAN Disconnected'. Ive tried the Epson site, but cant seem to find an answer.
The printer was fine on my old Vista laptop, but just doesnt seem keen on this one, for some reason. The instruction leaflet only goes as far as Vista, with no mention of windows 7.
When I originally set it up, I think it was on a network of its own. Can anyone tell me how to set this back up, or attach it to my normal router?
Any help is appreciated! :beer:

I may be teaching you to suck eggs here, but when I first connected up my Epson 515, it took me ages to work out that I needed to connect it to the router by Ethernet first in order for it to "see" my network. After it had got the appropriate info (don't ask me what, wireless stuff is over my head), I could disconnect it and it would work by wifi.
I'm presuming your Windows 7 laptop is connected wifi to your router, perhaps this has changed something on the router? Might it be worth connecting the printer by cable to the router for a short while, see if it solves anything?:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls
