Memory Card Reader
After installing a Dell V505W printer, my XPS 420 no longer recognizes the built in Memory Card reader slot. Should the printer slot replace the XPS slot and render it inoperable?

So what you're saying is you're connecting the V505w using a USB Cable, correct? If so, sometimes when people connect multiple devices there, one seems to counteract with the other.
I would recommend, since this is a wireless printer, to use the wireless card in the printer and print wirelessly.
Wireless router suggested settings.
Update the firmware in your wireless router. Manufacturer's website, make & Model needed.
Broadcast SSID(You may want to change this to make it easier to connect)
Use WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security. Most wireless devices work best with this type of security.
Mixed b and g mode(n if available)
Use channels 1, 6 or 11. Most devices work better on these channels.
Save and exit. Power everything off for 30 seconds. Power everything back on, wait 30 seconds, now try to connect.

Choose your printer. Beneath your printer, select your operating system. You'll be redirected to another page. Then click on show all steps. It will walk you through the installation process.
