Sounds like a problem in the print spooler. I had a problem with an HP 
some time back printing out a large report with a lot of graphics and it 
just "forgot" the back part. It turned out I had to turn off the spooler 
and print directly which of course tied the PC up. Normally the print is 
spooled up and fed to the printer. There actually should be any 
difference between going to a wireless server than an ethernet server 
especially if they use the parallel port. I have had some problems with 
printers using the USB ports - have no idea why but I just don't use the 
USB on printers now.

But hooking the printer via enternet on a wireless access point would 
work fine.

because in doing so we learn the truth about what cannot be imitated.
