Help: Print to shared printer from another subnet...

Hi,

We put a second NIC with IP 192.168.3.10 in our w2003 domain controller.
The first nic was at 192.168.1.10 where the dc also shared a printer
with IP 192.168.0.20.

Naturally workstations on the second NIC's 192.168.3.0 subnet won't be
able to use the printer connected to the first nic.

What do we need to do to enable or route printing from the 192.168.3.0
workstations to the printer?

Thanks a lot for comments and solutions to this.

regards

Tor

Let me see if I understand ...

subnet ZERO: 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0
subnet ONE: 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
subnet THREE: 192.168.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0

\\DOMAINDC: domain controller, dual homed on 192.168.1.10 / ONE
and 192.168.3.10 / THREE

printer: 192.168.0.20 / ZERO

I don't see how machines (including your DC) on subnet ONE are seeing
the printer on subnet ZERO anyway. Perhaps this was a typo, and your
printer is at 192.168.1.20 / ONE.

But if there is already a working share on \\DOMAINDC\ThePrinter, then
machines that can reach \\DOMAINDC on either subnet should have no
problem queuing print jobs to \\DOMAINDC\ThePrinter.

If there is not such a working share yet, then make one, and that
solves your problem.

Your other choice is to set up Routing and Remote Access on \
\DOMAINDC, which will let it transparently route packets from one
subnet to the other. But maintaining that is potentially a much larger
task.
