How can I print to a printer on another network?

Answered 12 Sep 2008 by p.henderson

We run two networks, one for admin and one for public use. An extra router has been added to prevent the public accessing the admin network.

An ADSL router connects to a small business server with a single network card that runs DHCP in 192.168.16.# Range.

A switch connected to the router has the admin computers and printers connected to it. This switch also connects to a wireless router that takes it IP address from the Server (192.168.16.200) it then has its own LAN and runs DHCP in the 192.168.1.# range. The wireless router has a file and print server plugged into it with an inkjet printer connected to it.

The public use wireless laptops that print to the inkjet printer.

The admin people would like to be able to print to the inkjet printer on the public LAN. Is this possible?

I have produced a quick drawing of the network and uploaded here: http://www.hmca.org.uk/network/network.pdf
