Internet Printing on a printer connected to Edimax 6200 Broadband Router with Print Server

I have an HP Laserjet printer connected to the USB2 port of an Edimax 3G-6200WG 3G broadband router with print server. All the systems connected to the router directly can print with out any problems.

I would like to know how to do Internet Printing from systems on other networks or from home.

Thanks...

You will need to port forward for the printer's IP. Refer your router's manual for the same. All the best!

Select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network”
and enter the URL of Print Server. The URL format is “http://IP:631/Port Name”.
The IP should be the Print Server’s IP. The number 631 is IPP standard port
number. Port Name is the port name of Print Server that your printer is
connected to. The default port name is “lpt1”. One example of the URL is
http://192.168.2.1:631/lpt1

The above is an extract from the router manual. The router is not directly connected to the internet. It is connected via the WAN port, to an ADSL modem router which is directly connected to the Internet. So unless the router (printserver) is directly connected to the internet it wouldnt have a public IP and I couldnt use an IP of 192.168.x.x range for IPP configuration.

Any idea to work around this issue...

In this scenario, you will need to forward the internal ip of the printer on the ADSL modem router for port 631 so that it could be accessed from the outside network...

Do you mean to forward the router's (print server) ip which is 192.168.2.1 since the printer is a USB printer?

YES, Got it working on all windows xp systems, but it is not working on windows vista home premium.

Any way thanks guys for your help...
