Anything in these results from chasing the wireless nic problem that flag anything relevant to the printer problem?
2. Make sure your bios is set for "PnP OS = NO"
3. Does "dmesg" or "lspci" show the card?
4. Does "cat /proc/interrupts" show an irq conflict?
Here is the output from those three info requests and the PNP BIOS setting:
START OF dmesg TEXT
(Some of the early output was cut off -- is there
a way to increase the buffer size?)
