Can Internet Printing be used to actually print over the Internet from one
state to another? If so, how does the url \\servername\sharedprinter change?
Thanks for any help given.
 
Hi,

If the host has a URL accessible over the Internet, you can print to the
printers hosted on that host using Internet Explorer. I hope the document
below helps you to setup and test the Internet Printing.

How To Configure Internet Printing in Windows 2000

The format to access the printer will be:
the following address, where print_server is the name of the print server:
http://print_server/printers/
For example, to view a list of all the printers that are located on a print
server that is named "MyPrintServer," type the following address:
http://myprintserver/printers/
A list of all the printers on the print server is displayed in your browser
window. In the list of available printers, click the name of the printer
that you want to manage.

-or-
using the following format, where print_server is the name of the print
server and printer is the name the printer:
http://print_server/printer/
For example, if you want to go directly the page of a printer that is named
"Laser" that is shared from a server that is named "MyPrintServer," type
the following address:
http://myprintserver/laser/

Hope it helps!

Thank you,
Rashmi
