Is the printer plugged into your wireless router via a Cat-5 (Network cable) ?

If so then it's going to be getting an IP address from the DHCP range on your router.

Print out a test page from the printer and it should show you it's IP address, then on your PC setup a new printer pointing at that IP address (you may have to setup a TCP/IP port when you install the printer) and thats it.
