Ok, i have tried searchign for my answer but i not 100% sure what i am talking about is correct.

I wanted to link my printer to the rest of my network via another router in bridge mode (WDS) but my main router doesnt support it.

So, plan B. i have an ubuntu server connected to the wired network but also has a wifi card, so i connected to the other router with the printer and can see the printer fine and have shared it. problem is, that the other devices on the network cannot see the shared printer. is it even possible to share a printer on a wifi network to a wired network


here is my atempt at showing my situation

Tablet, laptops and ubuntu server are connected to linksys network
Ubuntu server and printer are connected to BeBox network

=== wired
*** wifi
[QUOTE]
internet === Linksys router === ubuntu server *** BeBox router === printer

Linksys router *** Tablet
Linksys router *** Laptop

I have tried bridging eth0 with wlan0 with a br0 but this caused my internet to drop out and didnt actually work. i guess i didnt do something right, but another plan was to get my printer shared across the internet. Now i have tried it at work and i can see the printer by setting the ip of the ubuntu server (its dmz to forward all traffic to it without worrying about port forwarding at the mo). now it did connect and i could see the ink levels accurately but it wouldn't print, it said it was i nthe queue but didn't appear on the queue on the ubuntu server. i have enabled internet printing in cups and can see cups admin page with ip:631 form work but cant seem to get it to print, could it be to do with the internet on eith and the printer on wlan?
