Problems connecting to wireless router with MacBook Pro laptop

[DannyBoy4]

I recently purchased a P1102w laser jet printer. I have several devices that I would like to print wirelessly and so far, I have not had a problem setting up all of the Windows-based PCs to the printer via the wireless router. I have yet to figure out how to do the same with my MacBook Pro laptop however. There is not the option when installing the printer software to set it up for wireless as was the case when installing them on the Windows-based PCs. I would guess there is a way to do this but have yet to figure it out.

Thanks for the quick response. The video was a great help. The key is after setting the wireless network up (which it was in my case) is to actually delete the printer in the printers and scanners list and then add it back again. At that point, everything worked great.
