Printing to wi-fii printer
 
Hi I'm a complete newbie to the nit. I got my n800 3 days ago and I've never used linux. I was wondering if it's possible to print to a wi-fi printer, and if so, how. Thanks.

I've just nosed around a bit, and haven't seen any native facilities on the NIT (I've got a N810, running the latest firmware).

One alternative approach might be to connect to the printer via the browser, and see if you can upload a file. Can you connect with the browser to your printer's IP address? (an alternative might be to try and connect to port 631 on the printer with a web browser).

I print to my HPdeskjet 6940 via BlueTooth . With bluetooth it's easy like with photos you just hot send to bluetooth and pic your printer . works great . if you printer has a USB port then most printers will take a USB bluetooth adater.
