Setting up a HP printer on a wireless network

Thank you for reading this.

I went ahead and bought the HP laser pro 100 printer; it arrived this 
afternoon.

I have set the printer up using hp-setup as a USB printer and an 
Ethernet printer but I cannot get the printer working on my wireless 
network.

The instructions for Windows are:

Press the WPS button on the router.
Then press the wireless button on the printer and wait 2 minutes.
After two minutes I'm informed that the connection has failed.

I get much the same result using hp-wificonfig, except for a dialog that 
reads "Unable to locate wireless hardware on device." A blue LED on the 
printer blinks to show that the wireless device is turned on and a menu 
item confirms that as well.

I also tried the same under Windows, just in case, and the connection 
still fails.

Can anyone shed some light on the method that I should use to get the 
printer working on a wireless network?

Phil
