Can't find any howto's on this.
Need to print to a HP 660C via SMC7004ABR router.
My printer plugs directly into this router.
AnyBody done this?
AnyBody out there print through a router?
How did you do it?

Don't have 2 weeks to figure out how to print something . . .

Please help!

Thanks,
John.

Do you mean via tcp ip printing when you are on the same lan?

I meant sending a print packet from one box to the printer via
the router (db25 printer cable runs from router to printer).

Can this be done?

That router has a built in print server - follow the instructions here:

Then use cups to set up a TCP/IP printer and give it the address of your router.

I have a similar request, in that I too need some help in printing to a networked printer via an XP Pro box with file sharing & printer sharing enabled through a Netgear router (RP614v2). The printer is NOT networked in the "true sense", but shared. (If that makes any sense!). I have a dual OS on this box, XP Pro and Slackware 9.1 (via swaret updating 9.0).
I have been putting this "off" because I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, yet, when it comes to Slack, but have been "toyin around for a number of months".

If I can get this print issue resolved, and next will be my cd burning capability, I will be one step closer to dumping M$ XP!

If you install cups and access the web based admin utility you will be able to set up a printer that is shared over smb.

justaguynsrq in future please start new threads rather than hijacking others.

Thanks.

I thought I would "add" to this thread rather than start "anew", because I really didn't want to "upset" a moderator by having to be referred to a thread with a "similar topic.". Know what I mean? Never heard the term "highjacking" used, how negative does THAT sound?

Don't worry about it. On this occasion the methods of connection are quite different.
