HP B2010 wireless configuration with Ubuntu not seeing temp usb

Asked by don vosper

HP B210 series printer wireless with Ubuntu 11.04.
Installed hplip-3.11.5.run.
Selected Wireless /802.11, requires temporary usb connection.
Did this but when connecting usb and clicking on "next" I get message saying "no wireless device detected" and therefore cannot connect.
Is wifi connection for this printer not supported perhaps?
Or is there a way round this?
Wireless connection is fine with the other pc's

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately when I use that option the "Advanced Options" check box could not be ticked.
With the "Wireless/802.11" option it does become highlighted and can be ticked.
However this morning I could not see the HP logo so I looked Under Admin.> Printing, it then seached and found the printer after a couple of clicks and successfully printed a test page.
I am happy that it is working but somewhat confused.
Many thanks
