printer compatability

[jsr L]

Hi all,
For a long time, I could not get my laptop to do the upgrade.  Now, finally
it's done.  Still working on the printer issue.  Now that I have the newer
version of Ubuntu, how do I get it to recognize my printer wirelessly?  I
have the printer turned on, but it doesn't display any message saying:
"here are the printers connected".  My laptop and printer are both
wireless.  I did manage to print by plugging the USB in.  But it would be
more convenient if I could use the wireless function.  Anyone know how to
fix that?  Ubuntu recognizes my printer
as OfficeJet_Pro_7740_series_CN6AO350QY_
