Dell Inspiron 7500 and Linksys WPC54G Adaptor issue

I have a Linksys WPC54G wireless router, Dell Inspirion 7500 and desktop computer with Windows 98 SE operating system. HP Laser Jet 5 printer is connected to desktop computer and works fine when I print from this computer. When I try to print over network from Dell Inspirion I can not do that. Strange enough, I am able to share files and both computers can access internet via router. Do you have some ideas?

This is very strange issue. I bet you called customer support of every company involved in this issue and that you got no response:). I would try two things. First disable BiDirectional Communication on laptop and any network enhancing utility. Second install printer drivers on laptop. I think you have Windows XP Professional on laptop so I would not be surprised if drivers are not compatible with ones on Windows 98 box. I would really like to hear have you solved this problem.
