Hi folks.

I'm sure this is an old question, asked before. Please direct me to the
answer. Thanks!

I have a friend who keeps my laser printer at his home. I would like to
print to it. I have set up IIS on both machines and created a web site, but
there seems to be no knowledge of the printer when I try to use the "Add
printer" wizard at my house.

We both have the same ISP (Comcast), and are always on different subnets.

How do I configure, from my house, the printer at my friend's house, who has
a different IP address and subnet? Is it even possible?

Please direct me to whatever information may help.

Thanks,

Baz
 
No, I can't get a display, except for the IE error page, when trying to
display http://localhost/(anything)

IIS is running, I even put a default web page up, but even though the web
page displays itself, there seems to be now folder http://localhost(or
computer name,or ip address)/printers.

I feel very much behind the eight-ball on this one, as though I am missing
something extremely basic.
