Printer stopped working

HI folks: My HP nx9010 laptop printed perfectly using its built-in wireless.
The printer is on my home network and prints from other hard wired computers.
The wireless router is supplied by the provider and is a Speedstream 6520.
This in turn plugs into a Asante Friendly Net router. No wiring has been
changed.
I tried to install a Wave RV II USB high power wireless system from
RadioLabs - the wireless in the laptop is a bit weak for use in RV
Campgrounds. The software that came with the antenna wouldn't install
properly and kept hanging. I returned the antenna!
Now my laptop wireless works as before but I cannot print.
I have tried the recommendations in Article 314073 but everything appeared
to be correct.
The printer reinstallation for the HP 1022n printer - both the wireless and
USB - appear to work properly. Only the USB works.
Anyone got ideas please?
Thanks, Donald

Hi
If both computers are on the same Network and can connect to the Internet
then it is sharing's configuration issue.
However, I do not understand the topology of your Network. Since you use
two Routers, it could be that each of your computers is sitting on its own
Network. Please post the IPs of the computers.
If the Wireless Router is used as an Access Point, it has to be configured
this way,

Hi Jack: All the computers are connected to the Friendly net router. The
wireless/DSL router connects to the the TV - we get TV from Bell/Aliant - and
into the WAN input of the Friendly Net router. As I said, nothing has changed
wiring wise and the laptop wireless connection does work and connects.
But something went tilt and I cannot talk to the printer in any way.
Connecting a USB cable allows me to install the printer which works.
I'm running Win XP SP2 and all up to date on patches.
I keep thinking that the printer is not installing properly. The
installation keeps going straight to HP and Laserjet 1022n. When I first
installed the printer using wireless the process was more complicated.
If you have specific questions about settings I can provide them.
Thanks
Donald
