No. The wireless adapter allows you to simply transfer the data waves. However you still need to install printer drivers on the PC. Therefore, if the printer is not compatible with Vista, you'll need a new printer.
I have an HP Photosmart 2575 and I cannot for the life of me find out what adapter it needs. Anyone happen to know?
HP actually makes their own adapter you might want to use:

Q. I have a Dell Dimension desktop with a Pentium 4 processor and I am thinking about ways to upgrade it to make it faster. I have already maxed out the memory. Do you think a motherboard swap is possible in this box? Would it generate a noticeable improvement?
A. I had a buddy in college who put a Porsche 914 engine he got in a junkyard in some manner of Volkswagen. It eventually worked, sort of, but the effort/money ratio was way, way off. This is the same problem you're going to have with your Dell. You could find a good motherboard upgrade for your Dimension, but you would easily exceed the cost of a new desktop computer by the time you did the pricing, got a new processor, the new RAM that will went with it (yup, you'd need DDR3), the new optical drives (you'd need SATA drives), new hard drives (SATA too) and keyboard and mouse (USB only).
A far better idea is to purchase a new desktop PC for pretty good prices. I am fond of the Dell Outlet, where you can get scratch-and-dents and refurbished computers online. If you do that, you will have brand-new everything, including a new operating system and a warranty. You will also have a fully functional system to pass down to a kid or a nearby school or church (generating a tax deduction, which helps pay for the new one).
I am trying to re-install my HP Photosmart 7660 Printer for wireless operation, having recently reverted back to my old ISP, and have been issued with a new Router. I'm having difficulty in installing the wireless Adapter. The following message keeps re-appearing when trying to install " Printer Adapter not found". This also happens when trying to install on my other works Laptop. All the connections from the printer to the Adapter are Ok, and all the Led's are lit correct. My Laptop is approximately 2 feet in line from the Adapter, although I have tried moving them to only within 6 inches from each other without success. I have 3 Laptops and a Desktop on my home Network, and everything used to be fine, before changing ISP's. Since reverting back to my old ISP, I have renewed my Home network, and everything work fine, except my Printer. The printer works fine when connected to each Laptop or desktop via USB. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks. Billy
