Connecting the Printer to your Wireless Network

I brought this printer with the sole intention of it being being standalone wireless froma mobile computer . This does not seem possible inspite of the claims that it can connect through it's access point.
I do not want it configured to a modem as I am mobile and want it to work in a car directly from my laptop.
I have spent a good few hours with dymo support not being able to rectify this problem and end the end there was a suggestion that the wireless must be malfunctioning, I can see the printer listed on my laptop but it seems incapable of printing directly without a physical connection(it all works fine plugged in)
The retailer I brought it from and Dymo themselves have been unwilling to replace or rectify
What suggestion do you have
We're an independent retailer. If you bought it direct from someone else, and Dymo can't get it to work and neither of them will replace/refund it then I'm not really sure a) how it is anything to do with us, b) what exactly you expect us to do about it?
