To print to your HP printer using AirPrint you will need some kind of AirPrint server. It is not enough to just get network connectivity to the printer, you need some software running somewhere to handle some of the communication details. It is conceivable that someone makes a 3G WiFi router that includes AirPrint support but I think is unlikely.

I'd run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics and see if the report can pinpoint if there is a problem with the configuration or the network devices that connect you to the internet.
The failure to resolve a common DNS and packet loss makes it look like a very lossy network, but that's harder to fix directly than a configuration issue.
If you ...

There are two things you can do here.
If you want all your traffic to go via built-in Ethernet if both Ethernet and Wifi are up, you can make it more preferred in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> Network will show you the window with all Network connections defined. At the bottom of the left hand side panel (with the list of interfaces) ...

Unlike Firefox, most OS X apps don't have their own proxy settings but instead respect the system-wide configuration in the Network preference pane. This is particularly true of the bundled apps like Software Update and Safari.
To do that, just open the Network pane in System Preferences, select the connection you want to configure on the left (e.g. Wi-Fi), ...

You could forward port 548 to your MBP server to get back the old behavior of allowing afp://** to connect to your MPB server instead of your TimeCapsule. This would definitely make your TimeCapsule AFP server inaccessible from the Internet and might (but I would hope not) make it inaccessible from your LAN. Try it and see. Here is one of many web pages ...

According to this Apple support page,
This will clear your current cellular and Wi-Fi network settings,
including saved networks, Wi-Fi passwords, and VPN settings.
So, it will reset your network connection options, and it will affect internet connectivity, both GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G/4G and WiFi, but it shouldn't impact "classic" telephone services, ...

You can adjust the order of your network interfaces in the Network panel of System Preferences. This allows you to set the primary adaptor for your network location, which in your case should be the Wi-Fi adaptor, since that provides the actual correct default route to the Internet.
The re-ordering UI is accessible by clicking on the 'gear' icon below the ...

MacBook Pro supports 802.11n wifi wireless networking. There are other wifi protocols like 802.11b and 802.11g. MacBook Pro is compatible with these (b and g) as well. Wifi issues prop up when your router supports other frequency and your laptop is trying to catch other frequency.
If your router supports 802.11b/g and compatible with n then it means some ...

After spending maybe 12 hours or more troubleshooting this issue over the past month or so, and realizing it was isolated to my user account, I decided to recreate my user account from scratch. This has solved the problem, and I am now able to connect to the remove server and add/edit files without difficulty.
