Not all routers have such a button.
Follow the instructions that came with the printer to "manually" select your wireless network, and to enter the password for your network.

WPS only works with client Wi-Fi devices that have a WPS button.
Your router does not have it, so it does not work.

Hello pbufordjr,
WPS stand for Wi-Fi Protected Set-up . According yo Wikipedia "The goal of the WPS protocol is to simplify the process of configuring security on wireless network, If your 2Wire router is equiped with that function it would be the BIG button on the bottom front of your router Look at this advertisement from 2Wire http://2wire.com/movies/pages/112.swf

Click Start, All Programs, HP, HP Deskjet, Connect a new printer. Choose Network Printer, then connect the USB. It will transfer the wireless settings. Unplug USB. Viola! Wireless works.
