Is this Dell printer connected to the iMac, to the USB port on an AirPort router, or connected directly to a wireless network?

Does this printer work properly when directly connected to the iMac's USB port and just not when connected to the AirPort base station's USB port?

If so, then please check out the following Apple Support article for additional assistance on troubleshooting your printer.
