Open printer for TCP/IP printing

[Lucas Close]

Hi, I need to enable a client to print to a printer that is connected to a
windows xp workstation in a different subnet. How can I do this. Can I turn
the xp workstation into a tcp/ip print server or can I refer to the printer
as \\192.168.12.100\printerName (myself being on the 192.168.11 subnet, and
NETBIOS traffic not being routed to the other subnet)
thank you

You should be able to open the remote computer with \\192.168.12.100 and
this will enumerate the shares available. If that does not work you can
install Print Services for UNIX. You will need to set the service to start
automatically as the default setting on Pro is manual. On the client
machine create Standard TCP/IP ports that target the machine. You will need
to manually configure the ports to LPR with the print share name as the
Queue Name and Enable Byte counting.

If the Internet Connection Firewall it enabled, you'll run into a solvable
port issue.
