Robert,
Open a terminal and enter the following #sudo lspci and #sudo lsusb then
copy and paste the output into an email. That will show us if the
wireless card is being detected and what as.

Members,
I have followed the steps in comparison however i can see the printer,
but test page is nowhere, let me get back to you after the
installation of gutenberg packages.
Reinier, how did you activate your wireless network? For 7:10, madwifi
v 0-9.4 is recommended but still facing challenges. I might have to
upgrade 8.04
All appreciated.

Hi Robert,
Am running 8.04 myself, but should be similar.
- Open the System Settings
- Click Printers
- Click Add | Add Printer/Class
The Printer wizard starts up
- Click Next
- Now, you can choose an smb printer (if that is how you shared yours)
- Click next
- On this screen (SMB Printer Settings) you can choose where your
printer is.
If you can not find your printer here, you havent shared it correctly
- Click Next
- This brings you to the Printer Model Selection. This is the
screen your
looking for. If you can not find your printer here, you need to
install the
drivers. In you Adept Manager, search for "printer". I got the
foomatic and
gutenberg packages installed, and they contain the most common
drivers.
good luck
rgds,
