E52 LPR printing

Hello!

 

I can't print from my E52 through WIFI LPR... I have Samsung CLP-315W printer, it's in my wireless network, not connected to any pc. I'm trying to set up my nokia, but it doesn't seem to work.

 

When I'm printing from phone, it says "connecting" for 3 seconds, and then "document printed", but nothing really happens....

 

My settings:

Driver: General

Bearer: LPR

Access point: (my network name)

Host: (Printer's IP)

User: E52

Queue: SAMSUNGPRINTER (same as printer's name on the routers DHCP client list)

Orientation: Portrait

Paper size: A4

 

 

Help greatly appreciated... thanks!

Re: E52 LPR printing

Accesspoint should be an IP address of your router or modem, usually 192.168.0.1.

Re: E52 LPR printing

It is not possible to enter the IP address on the "access point".

I can only pick from the list of available access points, so I'm choosing my home network, which is the router...

Re: E52 LPR printing

Oke, but keep in mind that not all printers are compatible.

Re: E52 LPR printing

Ok then, so what compatibility depends on? If my nokia has a driver installed for HP, or for "General", i assume that the "general" will work on ANY other printer, so why doesn't it? Why such a huge mobile phone producer don't have a compatibility website, which will say anything about compatibility issues and how to solve them? Where are the patches?

 

You see, I purchased that phone, because it's loaded in business features, meanwhile the most important part of its software, the email, is crashing, then the printing isn't working... I mean, how the nokia software developers can call themselves "developers" after what they did with emails on this device? Not to mention the printers. After so many years of being on the market, they allowed this full-of-bugs software to see the daylight and released it?

 

I know you are trying to help me here, but I'm really dissapointed in nokia at this stage. And saying that not all the printers are compatible won't solve my problem.

 

Thanks anyway!
