How do I change the printer option to wireless from the present USB connection?

When I try to print from Firefox, the print job tries to go through a USB connection to the printer. My printer is wireless and goes through a router. How do I change the settings on Firefox to recognize the router?

I think Firefox just works with the information it gets from Windows and doesn't have any setting for how you connect to your printer.

In the Print dialog (you can use Ctrl+p to call it up), if you click next to Name, does Firefox display two different printers, one USB and one wireless, that you could choose from?

jscher, thanks for the response. No, there isn't an option to change to a different setting for the printer in Firefox. All the other applications I try to print from (email, Adobe, etc.) don't seem to have a problem with this

I meant to say there is no option in Windows 7 to change this.
