Network printer not seen when I connect via wireless
I am setting up a basic network (for printing only). I have 3 laptops connecting via RJ45 to a Brother MFC 9420cn printer. I am using a Netgear MIMO router. The printer works fine when the laptops are physically connected via the RJ45. But, if I conntect via wireless, the printer doesn't work.
The wireless is set up with WEP encryption and all keys have been double checked. I have no trouble connecting to the internet but cannot send a print job. I receive a connection error.
Any thoughts?

Some wireless routers allow you to segregate the wired and wireless networks by using different subnets, ensure this facility is turned off.

Will try all suggestions and get back. But how do I tell if the wireless router has a different subnet? Netgrear router.

Okay
Well, tried many things and basically reset the router, uninstalled the printer and started fresh.
All seems fine.
