Are there any compatibility issues with the wireless printer? Having trouble with a connection to a dell laptop.

You can make your printer WiFi compatible by connecting it to your wireless modem/router using the Ethernet port on the back of the printer, if the printer is located within a reasonable distance from the modem/router. The cost of an Ethernet cable (even a longer one) is probably less than the cost of the wireless adapter (I assume you have not bought the adapter yet).
To find out if the wireless adapter is compatible with your printer, you can call Dell technical support (for the printer or the adapter).

Hope this helps.

This might be a simple case of the three machines each having a different "network" or "workgruop" assigned to it.

In Right-click Computer, Properties, check to see what workgroup these machines belong tol If they are all different, then simply change them to match each other, so they all use the same resources, and the same printers.You will then have to re-add the printers, having first dleted the printer, if it was on the wrong workgroup.

But, once they are all on the same workgroup,and compatibility has been restured, you whould have no trouble getting them to use the same printer.

Chances are you are using WPA2 encryption, the PS3 and laptop may not have compatible wireless interfaces.
Drop your encryption to WPA.

go to your setup button on the printer (not the computer) and select wireless connection. The SSID should appear automatically. Choose the enter WEP option and enter the WEP for your particular modem. That's it

Contact your ISP. maybe there's a compatibility issue between your wireless router and your laptop. Since you can connect to other wireless network, it means your laptop is perfectly fine.

check your Lan Connections, and check your OS as well.

Even if it's a new Dell, you may need to update either the drivers for the wireless card or the BIOS.

Also, verify which protocol your Dell is set to use (i.e. 802.11g, 802.11b, auto-select, etc.). Dell may have fixed to to a slower protocol for compatibility.

Vista is tricky when adding networked printers.  
Add printer by using a local device, not a networked device.  Assume the printer is connected locally to the machine.

Yes.

Just ensure you configure your new HP pc with the same security code and password you used on your old Dell.

Hi Judi,
I'm not sure but if I remember correctly the Hp F380 is a 3 in 1. I have used similar models. But did you install something like this
