Alternative:
Your internal network should have IP's in the 192.168.x.x range if assigned by your Wireless Hub/Router.
does your wireless printer server have a web admin page?
Go to it.
Check its IP.
Go to your laptop, go to the printers page and Add a New Printer.
Select the Local Printer option.
It'll look around for a bit and say it can't find one, click Next.
Select the 'Create a new type of port' option and use the pull down to select 'Standard TCP/IP port'
Click Next.
You'll get the port wizard.
Next.
Type in the ip address of the print server.
In the next input window, give it a name (MY HP printer bla bla)
Next.
Finish.
Now, go into where you'd previously had the printer set up and use that port, or if you hadn't had the printer attached to the laptop before you will get the wizard to select a printer or use your own drivers.
Sorted.
