Internet Printing
Maybe this does not work the way I think and someone can help me out with
this please. I have a linksys router and printserver at work with 2 printers attached to it. I want to print from my vista laptop over the internet to one of the printers and for the life of me can not figure out how to get it working. Any and all help appreciated. Thank you. |

Hello and thank you for responding to internet printing, actually I know I
could accomplish this task by sharing through a computer but I do not want to do it that way and am looking for a direct way through the print server itself. Maybe it can not be done the way I want. Thank you.

Is this a direct method to the print server without using a computer? I tried
to make it visible but this did not work either.

Yes you would need to place the print server some place where another
machine on the internet can ping the device. I do not know how to accomplish this task. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
