I've got my laptop and my printer connected to my wifi, how do I get them connected to each other?

    Both my printer and my laptop are connected to my wifi, but I can't figure out how to get my laptop to recognize the printer. I'm using Windows 7 and I tried 'Add a printer' and chose the wireless option but it found nothing. What am I missing here?

    Does the printer have an install disk?

    My wife bought an HP AIO wireless printer. It came with an install disk. I put the disk in her laptop (Win7) and pressed a couple of buttons; easy street.

    Used the same disk in my XP/Win7 desktop (dual boot) machine and it was smooth sailing there too. Both machines can access the HP through the home router with no problems.

    Try a download from your printer's support web site for the setup file(s) if you don't have a disk.
