router doesnt recognise printer or do u mean the other way round. with the router broadcasting, you have tried to connect to your wireless router from the printer?
perhaps its the printer and it cannot use the security setting on your router. what have u got setup. is it wep, wpa? check the limitations of your printer in the manual

I think I need to change the privacy settings on the router
to get it linked to printer. Can I do this myself? Linksys wants $40 to do this for me

shame no manual on the router. it should have all the info you need.
Look at the linksys website http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wi...
this direct link may also work http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downlo...
the setup for the router is something like this. open a browser and type 192.168.1.1
you should see the userid/password prompt. default password is admin (no userid). if this is set at default, you need to change it.
Then, I think under the wireless security settings you can select wep.
Do remember, wep is easy to crack given the right tools and hardware, wpa is not.

a lot of people still use wep. also you need specific h/w (certain network cards only) to crack it, not anyone can just do it.
have a read here http://lifehacker.com/5305094/how-to-...
wireless printers have their advantages. maybe exchange for a wireless printer that supports wpa. I have a brother wireless printer and works good.

Thanks! Appreciate the fast response.
There are a number of questions not closed. Quomon mods need to start cleaning them up.
