Re: Can I add a local printer to print from a remote system?

I think so - though I didn't realize you meant this remote when I clicked on
this message! I thought you wanted to know how to print on a printer in
another part of the house.

I would think you would set it up the same way. If she sets up a local
network, puts her computer and her printer on it, and then sets up her
connection to connect to the local printer, I would think she should be able
to print.

I would also actually think that her net meeting or whatever software would
let her do anything on her home computer that she could do if she were
sitting in front of it, including print, without having to add the printer
to a network. That is certainly true of some other versions of that
software for using your computer from another location.

Either way, she'd have to try it and see if it works. And it might take
some tweeking. If alot of people at her company work from home and so
forth maybe her company's IP can help her.
