Like with Replication, you access the share via

\\ad-domain\repl\share

Is there a way to Access Printers the same way? So if I print to Office A
it uses the Share on the Office A Server if I'm in Office A and if I'm in
Office B I want to print to the Share on Server B that prints to office A's
Printer??

Make sense?

Hi,

I have no idea but you can try to install the printer in Office A onto the
printer server in Office B as a network printer. But if so, why don't you
print to the printer server in Office A directly?

Why? (You're still spooling the data over the network either way.)
