kindly advice to me

Using your directions it is even possible to print from a different subnet without stuffing around with WINS nonsense! Here are my directions for doing so:

Note that if we try and print from the different subnet (in this case using NAT on both sides with zeroshell), we get an error:

com.apple.print.recoverable

This basically means that the printer is not at the address we are trying to print to. In fact, we won’t even find it the normal way.

To add your printer from the client machine, you have to go into System ? administration ? Printing as per normal, then Settings, click advanced settings, and add the IP of the printer to the “browse servers” bit.

From the server side, you may have to enable “Allow printing from the internet” so that clients not in the subnet can print.

Now, back on the client end, in the Printer Configuration main window you should be able to see your printer. You won’t be able to edit the settings of the printer. But what you can do is copy it, and call it something else which CAN be edited. So do that first.

Then, right click on the printer, click on properties and just change the device URI from something like:
ipp://computer1.local:631/printers/MFC7420
to
ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/MFC7420

Where 192.168.0.1 would be the IP of your printer.

Hope this helps someone.

I have a network-enabled HP 3600 printer, which is pain in the butt to install on windows, so I share it through Samba from an Ubuntu server.

Worked like a charm.

Thanks!
