Networking Printers

[Julius]

Hi,

I am wanting to network between my PC and my sisters PC. The PCs are not stationed in the same house and are a few blocks away from each other. I was wondering if it were possible for me to be able to print from my computer and have it actually come out of her printer.

I am using Windows 7 and she is using Windows XP with a wireless printer.


Is this possible?

sure, if you both get VPN endpoint routers and create a VPN between the 2 locations.
otherwise it may be possible to get a wireless signal that far.

certainly not worth it, though.

you can do i via the web browser but I think you need to be in a windows domain: http://www.google.com/search?q=Inte...=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=280187d6f0589da0

If it's a standard lpr or jetdirect compatible printer, you could just forward the port on her router to the printer.

Not really advisable though, anyone could spam print jobs from anywhere.
