Hi,

I don't know if this is the correct forum, If not, please move to the correct one.
I have a notebook with a built-in wireless card
I have a wireless router
I have a wireless printer

What must I do to print from the notebook to the printer?
The printer is connected to the network, the notebook is connected to the network.
The printer is known by Ubuntu 8.04, I can print using an USB cable.
Using a windows box, I can print to the printer wireless.
The router has not a built-in print-server.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Michael

Can you go to System->Administration->Printing? You should be able to go there and add a network printer with the wizard.

No, I can't.
Going there I click on Add Printer and a few seconds later a dialog pops up asking for a connection type. I don't know what to choose or enter there.
