In the wireless printer's setup menu (on the printer itself) you have to enter the wireless key or passphrase that is already set up on the router. This enables the printer to connect wirelessly to the router.

If your laptop is successfully connected wirelessly to that same router, and provided you've installed the printer software on your laptop, you should be able to access the printer from it.

My printer is already connected wirelessly to my router. I do have the software installed too. I used my laptop to print from the printer by usb cord and I wanted to do it wierelessly now and it doesn't work..The wifi icon is on on the printer whenever I turn it on. its just that when I don't have it connected to my laptop by USB it says its offline and when I do connect it to the usb it says online and starts printing.
