Thanks for your latest ideas, I am interested i the idea of 'joining' the same network as I use for the internet. At the moment I have 3 separate networks for the net, the printer and for music. I switch between them as necessary.

I have been away for a day and have just arrived back at my house, as I sit here in a downstairs room the printer network has just appeared in the wi-fi menu of the BMP, and I have logged on and successfully printed something through it. It's working!! I don't expect that it will last but I will read some more about the joining of networks.
Thanks for your help
