Can't print from wireless laptop

I cannot print to the gigafast print server when connected wifi. I can
print when hard connected. I'm using XP pro w/SP2. I was not able to
print before sp2. I can configure the print server with wifi. It has to
be something internal to windows. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Are you trying to point something out? I have already tried this route
with no success. My printer is not listed in the incompatible section.
The FAQ does not show my problem and tech support has not been
successful. I can print when the laptop is connected via cat5 to the
router but not when I try a wifi connection. I have also done an
extensive google search on this problem with no success. I am trying
this group because I have exhausted my resources. Any constructive help
will be appreciated.

Q. "Are you trying to point something out?"

A. You never stated what troubleshooting method you already employed.
Sorry, I'm not a mind reader....

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe someone could suggest a way of
troubleshooting this problem? I can't seem to find any one thing that
relates to this. As far as I'm concerned a network connection is a
network connection. I've checked the properties of the internal NIC and
the Belkin 54g wifi card, as far as I can see there is no differences
other than the wifi part. I can't find any inhibiting details that could
cause this. I went through the Belkin interface several times. I don't
believe the wifi card and driver software is the fault due to having
other wifi cards with the same problem on this system. The print job
will come up with a print error. There is no explanation what the error
is. I do see the data being sent via the activity light and my IP
sniffer. If I reconnect the system on wire and retry the same job it
goes straight through. Any further troubleshooting suggestions will be
appreciated.
