Dell 3000cn and WiFi Networking?

Has anyone ever tried to print to a Dell 3000cn from a laptop on a WiFi network?
 
I know when I was installing the drivers straight from the CD the first time it wouldn't auto detect until I plugged it directly into my 54g router...
 
Any suggestions are most helpful...
 
Thankx...

    Just a heads up...
     
    I have an SMC2804WBRP-G wireless router with builtin USB print server....
     
    I have the printer connected to the router with a static route....I'm unable to print/ping when wireless, but when directly plugged into the router I can do both.
     
    Again, any suggestions you have I would appreciate.

    What type of router do you have? What is your setup? Do you use a TCP/IP port or the NetWk000 port created when installing the printer from the CD?

    If you could describe the method you used when installing the printer, It'd be much appreciated...

    I've got a DSL setup here using the Westell 327 on piece modem/router/wireless router.
     
    I just plugged the 3000cn into the router and added the printer using the CD on each computer on the network. The port is listed as NtwkPort00.
     
    Works like a charm.
     
    As long as I have your attention...have you figure out how to set custom page sizes?
