Can someone help me out with wireless printer

I have a Desktop PC running XP and a Black macbook 2007 which runs off wireless router.

I am trying to find info on printer wirelessly but having a hard time figuring it out.

I would appreciate the help

Printer is Espon Stylus CX8400
 
Does your router have a USB port? You can connect your printer (if it is USB) to your router and print to it wirelessly.

Oops just noticed you have a wireless printer. Go to System preferences > Print and Fax > click on the plus sign to add a printer.

So you are suggesting to hook printer into router? I think it is directly into the computer right now. Is that why it isnt printing?

Yes connect it to your router and go to System Preferences > Print and Fax > Click on the plus sign to add a printer. Or check if you can add the printer in system preferences without connecting it to your router since it is wireless.
