I had a similar problem with my WiFi printer when I was setting it up. It would connect and I could surf to its page but it kept dropping off my network and I could only actually print to it if I plugged in the USB. I ended up having to get a techie buddy to come by and help me out and after screwing around with settings and stuff, he decided that my firewall had to have a special rule set up for the printer. We ended up setting up reserved addresses for all the equipment on my network that was hooked up wirelessly, (printer, wii, DSi) and then setting those IP's as trusted in the Firewall settings. It has worked like a charm for about a month now.
