I cannot get my HP2500 series Photosmart printer to

can I do to trouble shoot?
Shoot son instead of trouble?
Seriously, you need to proved more information before anyone can help

1. What is the configuration of this wireless network
a. what computers (by OS type) are connected
b. which are hard-wired to the network and which by wireless
2. how is the printer connected?
a. physically connected to one of the computers (the usual case for
home networks)
b. connected to a print server (details)
3. if the printer is connected to a computer, how is it connected (usb
or parallel)
4. are you attempting to print from the computer to which the printer
is physically connected or another computer on the network
5. can you successfully use the network from the computer you are
trying to print from
a. to connect to the Internet
b. to access files on one of the other computers (if yes, can you
access files on the computer to which the printer is attached)
6. did you attempt to share the printer; if so, were you successful?
Other questions will surface as you provide the info.
