Wireless printing

I have a dell inspiron 1100 with a netgear wireless WG511 card and a netgear WG614 wireless router and a dell AIO 962 printer with a dell 3300 wireless adapter and a compaq desktop with windows XP and my daughter has a dell desktop with windows XP. I have dsl going into the router and the two desktops are connected by ethernet cables into the router. My network is working because I can share files with the other computers. My internet is working also. The compaq is printing and my daughters dell is printing. One thing I cannot do is print from the laptop without manually plugging the printer in by USB cable. Any ideas how I can print wireless from my laptop?

    I figured it out and all works good now! For people with 3300 problems the way I did it was to uninstall everyhting then turn off all virus scan and firewalls, then install the 3300 drivers first and when it searched for my network I told it that I wanted to enter another one even though mine was on the list, then when I installed the printer drivers I chose typical install instead of network install on my laptop and it worked.

    One more thing you have to do is allow dell communications access in your firewall.
