I have a desktop computer connected to my D-Link wireless router with cable. I have a printer connected to that computer. I have a laptop connected wirelessly, to the router and it is able to use the printer. I have a new laptop that uses the same wireless connection and it works fine, but I can't hook up to the printer. It doesn't even know the network exists. I need some help to get my printer connection up.

It sounds as though the Vista pc isn't even seeing the network, so it definitely won't print. Download this to your XP machines and the Vista pc will see the network, then you can configure the printer the same way you did in XP.

Sounds like you night need to install VISTA drivers for your printer on your Vista Computer.
Check your printer's manufacturer's website for Vista Drivers
