I have an HP 1525NW printer here that is wireless..... and I can print to it both from my LAN and also from iPad devices... But my router is setup as an access point which means that I can set a static IP for the printer and it will be seen by the entire network. I have two *wired* network printers at: 192.168.0.11 and 192.168.0.12 and the wireless printer is at: 192.168.0.13 to set up the HP1525, I went into cups (http://localhost:631) and defined the printer as: <table border="0" style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <tr> <td style=" vertical-align:top;"> Description:</td> <td> HP LaserJet CP1525nw</td></tr> <tr> <td style=" vertical-align:top;"> Location:</td> <td> office</td></tr> <tr> <td style=" vertical-align:top;"> Driver:</td> <td> HP Color LaserJet cp1515n pcl3, hpcups 3.13.3 (color, 2-sided printing) </td></tr> <tr> <td style=" vertical-align:top;"> Connection:</td> <td> socket://192.168.0.13</td></tr></table> and I selected the profile for the printer from the list of printers. Note that I had to select "CP1515N" instead of CP1525NW because they didn't have an entry for the 1525. But it works just fine. Hope this helps. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
