Connect to multiple wireless networks at the same time

Is there any way to connect to two different wireless networks at the same time using one wireless card?

What I'm trying to do is this...I'm trying to connect in ad-hoc mode to an HP printer that is using a wireless HP JetDirect 380x to print and at the same time connect to a network via a 3Com 7250 Access Point. So far I can connect to each one individually but not at the same time.

My wireless network card is a 3Com 11a/b/g Wireless PCI Adapter
 
No, you can't as your NIC has to be set to either work in ad-hoc mode or in infrastructure mode(when connected to an Access Point). Why don't you connect your HP printer wirelessly to the AP as well, I think that's the way to go.
