Connect to network printer
I have a Brother HL-5250DN on my home network and it works fine. Now I
want to use that printer from a laptop provided by my employer. Because this is a company laptop it is not part of my home network's workgroup and the printer does not show up when I browse for network printers. According to Windows help I have to specify the printer's URL but I have no idea what this is or how to find it. Help! Thanks, -- Peter Aitken |

Connect to network printer
Is the printer shared from another machine?
\\machine\printersharename would be the format but you will need to verify correct security settings. If the printer has a network card, create a local printer using a Standard TCP/IP port to the IP address of the device. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
