Maybe this does not work the way I think and someone can help me out with
this please. I have a linksys router and printserver at work with 2 printers
attached to it. I want to print from my vista laptop over the internet to one
of the printers and for the life of me can not figure out how to get it
working. Any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
 
Hello and thank you for responding to internet printing, actually I know I
could accomplish this task by sharing through a computer but I do not want to
do it that way and am looking for a direct way through the print server
itself. Maybe it can not be done the way I want. Thank you.

The printer that I want isn't listed
Select a shared printer by name
http://computername/printer/printername/.printer (this string will be
specific to you're device).


The computer would need to be visible from the internet for this to work.

Is this a direct method to the print server without using a computer? I tried
to make it visible but this did not work either.

Yes you would need to place the print server some place where another
machine on the internet can ping the device. I do not know how to
accomplish this task.
