I have a printer on my home network, but when I try to use it from N95, by choosing WLAN printer on Gallery > Print, is "scans for printers", but never finds any. Also it shows a bluetooth logo in the scanning box, not WiFi.
How can I make this work?
Your printer needs to be connected to your wireless router. Install your printer using an Ethernet cable instead the usb (connect the printer to ur wireless router), then from the network settings on ur computer enable file and printer sharing.
PS. I never tried this, so please post results.
My printer already is connected directly with ethernet cable to my router, and works fine from all my PCs.
According to the HELP on n95: u need to have a compatible Basic Print Profile (BPP) equipped printer with bluetooth connectivity. And I have no idea what that means.
Im tryin to use a WLAN printer, not a Bluetooth one though

Its not possible. I'm dissapointed at this too as I have a WLAN printer hooked up to our network.
I don't understand why Nokia decided to exclude WLAN printers despite giving the phone WLAN capabilities!? Surely it wouldn't have been too hard to implement. I hope they add this in a future version. I'd love to be able to send straight from my phone over WLAN to printer.
Thats really confusing!
Under print, i get a choice of
USB Printer (pictbridge)
Bluetooth
Memory Card
WLAN printer
Surely if the Bluetooth one is for Bluetooth printers the WLAN printer must be for something else, if WLAN is not WiFi what could it be for?
I believe you need a HP compatible network print server.

I managed to fix this using UPNP. Connect with UPNP to your WLAN and share your printer (mine was a HP) and it will work!
If you wanna get into specifics, my printer is HP Photosmart 2575, with direct network connection (print server) built in.
Id assume that it would be HP compatible, because its a HP printer, but please say if im wrong
