I have a Linksys wrt54gs v.5 and the HP photosmart C7280
i have not been able to get my router to see the printer through any of my computers
SO
i hooked the desk top up directly with the USB cord to the printer while all the computers are running through the wireless router

SHOULDN'T I BE ABLE TO PRINT FROM THE LAPTOPS THROUGH THE NETWORK SINCE ALL THE COMPUTERS ARE RUNNING THROUGH THE NETWORK????

i need to figure out how to make all the computers print without having to be hard wired
PLEASE any suggestions?!?!

Have you properly shared the printer?
Security permissions on the computer attached to the printer?

Have you downloaded the users manual for the printer from HP?
This will assist in connection issues.
