ok, i've got a 3950 with a cisco wireless card. i can connect to the internet both through the cradle and the wireless card. now, what i'm trying to do is print to a network ip printer.

i've recently tried a few printing programs out (printboyce & hp mobile printing), and i finally got them to print through the cradle by poking a hole in the firewall (my computer is on a different subnet, the wireless and printer are on the same). so now it prints through the cradle, but when i try to print through wireless, it tries to establish a connection for a while, and then says "Print Error: Unable to connect to the network printer. Please check your network connection and printer IP address."

has anyone else had similar problems or does anyone know why this won't print??

thanks for any help...

You are probably able to print through the cradle cause your
desktop has print sharing enabled and is authorized to access
the printer. What is co-ordinating or running the DHCP may
require further modifying to all the PDA's IP access to the printer.

Good luck
