Odd. You've got windows on your lappy, right? What happens when you add your printer via the control panel? Also, I read somewhere that one has to make sure that both the lappy and the wireless router are "802.11 compliant", whatever that means.
Yea. And the lappy sees the printerx until I actually open the driver install thing. And the printer makes a chucky acknowledging noise (the "computer stopped talking to me I am going idle now" sound) a bit after.
I checked the IP's manually and went through all the suggestions in the driver install. Finally I installed it over USB and now I am not sure if I have to remove that if I am to try again.
I was mostly fishing for all my hp-support friends (former and current) to take the bait and help me though ;)
doh, don't they want any customers? :P
