Wireless and the HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One

I'd like to know if it's possible to connect an HP Officejet J4580 to a wireless network, and if so, how to go about it.
The documentation provided with my All-in-One indicates it's possible, but refers to a "Wireless Connection Guide", which was not included with my product. The only references I can find to this particular model and wireless connections on the HP website seem to indicate it can only be connected wirelessly to a Mac.
I'm running Windows Vista (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion laptop, with a Linksys WRT54G router. There is one other computer connected to the wireless network (a Gateway PC running Vista 64-bit, if that's relevant).
I watched the video in the stickied thread above, regarding how to connect an All-in-One to a network in Windows XP, but 1) I wasn't given the wireless option during installation (bummer), 2) I'm not really excited about the prospect of installing ALL their fluff software to get this thing working, and 3) I'm not running XP (also kind of a bummer, but whaddyagonnado).
I'd also like to mention that my product didn't come with the USB cable necessary to connect it to my computer. The simple set-up directions imply that this cord was only shipped with the J4680 model, along with the aforementioned "Wireless Connection Guide".
Is this true? Why on earth would HP neglect to include necessary hardware AND neglect to supply an alternative method? That just strikes me as bad customer service.
Any assistance or commiseration you can offer will be appreciated! Thanks for your time!

Hp officejet j4580 all-in-one won't print from the internet.

My officejet j4580 all-in-one printer won't print anything I try to print off the internet, nor from microsoft word. I tried reinstalling, but it gets stuck at 94%, and it took almost 3 hours to get to that point. What can I do? My operating system is microsoft vista.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

HP OfficeJet J4580 All-in-one not printing the top of page

My HP OfficeJet J4580 has had many problems in the past, but they always have seemed to work themselves out. Currently the issue is that it cuts off the entire top edge of my paper.
I am a college student and it's mandatory that my format and margins are correct, but the printer is cutting off the header completely and most of the top margin. I have tried everything in my power before posting for help. I have reset the printer, restarted the printer, re-installed the printer, tried to do an alignment sheet, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss here and would just like to be able to print things without having to go out and buy a new printer because this printer isn't that old.

@syddie101 I was looking at this printer spec online, and I saw the margin specification. Take a look at this page (in the print margin section). 3mm top margin seems to be quite small for many document headers, but just to check, is your top margin less than 3mm?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01430100&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
If your document top margin is not less than 3mm, are you printing double-sided?
Though I work for HP, I'm speaking for myself and not HP. I'm just trying to help with my limited knowledge

HP OfficeJet J4580 All-in-one printing issue

Dear Sir or Madam,
Two years ago I purchased this all-in-one deskjet and for the first year it operated perfectly, both over usb and connected to my Airport wireless router. For the last year, however, I have been unable to get it to print correctly. Although it does print, the page misses multiple lines of printing. What I mean is that, for example, the bottom or top half of an entire line of words will not print, and the problem reoccurs multiple times on the page. It does not appear to occur regularly, and seems to be caused by the the black cartridge only.
Because the printer is no longer under warranty I have attempted to troubleshoot the problem myself. I have replaced both print cartridges with new HP branded media. I have run the clear cartridges utility and have cleaned the cartridge carriage contacts/ cartridge contacts using a Q-Tip with distilled water. I have also removed the black cartridge for two hours and turned it upside down as recommended. The problem does not occur in the copy or fax function - but does occur with wireless and usb-connected printing. The test page prints correctly.

First solution is to do a partial reset.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00720603&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If this doesn't bring the solution!
perform a re-install of the printer.
if this doesn't help - you could do a re-install with an alterantive driver , of the 990C.
( this driver is standard available in windows software!)
add printer and use/pick the driver of the 990C.

IE 8 and compatibility with Officejet J6480 All-in-one

I have the above Officejet J6480, connected via USB, XP operating system and earlier this year after installing IE 8 I found that the printer was not compatible. Therefore I went back to IE 7, and have been awaiting news from HP that the compatibility issue has been resolved, but I haven't heard anything. It would seem that installing IE 8 would be a good move if it is compatible with the printer.
Questions:
Is the Officejet J6480 now compatible with IE 8 assuming I have updated my printer software from the HP site?
If not, what do I need to do in order to use IE 8?
Is there any reason not to go to IE 8?
Thanks for your help....

Massive problem with HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One

Recently I've reloaded the cartridges and when I want to print something, on the print's screen writes "Problem at printing cartridge: [Black]. Consult the documentation of the product, for troubleshooting". It's not the first time when appears this message, last time I had to buy a new cartridge.
What should I do?

First, ensure that it is the correct cartridge number. If it is, take it back to where you bought it and exchange it for a new one.

Hi,
You don't need CD for it, you can download from the following link then copy to CD if you wish:
