Printing over internet from mobile network and windows
Hello. I have two kids living with their mother half of the time. They often needs to print things for their studies. How can I set up my print-server so they can print from their mothers computer. It's a win xp machine with mobile network. I have the printer shared with samba and I'm running an Apache server with a DynDNS IP-adress.

Re: Printing over internet from mobile network and windows
if everything (samba) is configured correctly, the printer should just show up on the network and can be added from the control panel->add printers wizard. you will probably have to install the printer drivers on the client (your kids) computers, which if you don't have the disk are normally available from the manufacturers website.

OK. Thankyou for your advice. I'll try the samba way then.
