ive just bought a wireless lexmark printer. I have printed from my n95 8gb using pictbridge with the usb lead.

However my n95 8gb wont find the wi fi printer on my home network why not?

i dont use pictbridge, but i found your question as i am looking for doing a similar thing with a N95, on my Nokia E90 I set up LPR mode, than the correct que name(id) for the wireless device and the correct ip address on the router for instance 192.168.1.244 Try seeing what setup functions you have on your mobile.. Meantime Ill look at pictbridge . Have fun.

Because it isn't designed to.

It'll print using the PictBridge protocol, either using a USB cable or via bluetooth. Period.

The N95 8GB supports finding and printing of photos to UPnP capable printers on a UPnP-enabled home network.  

I've printed from a N95 8GB to an HP PhotoSmart C7280 this way... (Though not all network printers support the UPnP or the newer DLNA standards).

The key steps I remember in setup were:
- Ensure my WiFi router had UPnP support enabled,

- Connect the phone to the same home WiFi network that my printer was connected to

- Allow sharing of my photo media files over the network from the Nokia N95.

Once set-up, when viewing a photo, choose the "Print" command.  I think the phone looks first for a PictBridge connection. Hit cancel to move on and look for WiFi UPnP printers (or hit cancel again to look for Bluetooth printers).

Hope this helps!
