Port TCP_IP

[Jac]

Hello

Here what i need to do

I have a HP Laserjet 4 (Only LPT1) that is plug to a Windows XP Workstation

On that workstation, i add the printer called "LJ4" and i shared it. The
workstation is on our domain and is TCP_IP address is 192.168.70.xxx

What i want to try to do now is to add a TCP_IP port on another workstation
(that is not part of our domain) and is on another segment (172.21.11.xxx)
to be able to print on the printer. This workstation is for a library and
is just use to go on the internet.

Thanks for helping me

Take the printer off the workstation and put it on a printserver. You
can get a reasonably-priced print server from Linksys or Belkin.

Even with a stand-alone print server (eliminating the Windows share issue)
he will still have the "not on his network" problem, without network
reconfiguration. (i.e. same gateway, etc.).

Yes, you're quite right. I missed that bit. Sorry.

The only way to pass traffic between 2 different subnets would be through a
router. Are these 2 segments part of one network behind different routers?
What you want to do probably isn't possible, but more information would be
helpful.
