Default Printing to another workgroup

HI,

Is it possible to print to a printer on another workgroup? My PC is on the
same subnet and I am able to ping the PC connected to the printer.
Obviously i am not able to browse the printer but is there a way i can
configure the printer using IP address?

Thanks for any help.

Ramesh

You simply need to install the printer driver using LPT1 as the port, then
add a new port in the format:

\\computername\printershare

or

\\10.20.30.40\printershare
